Is there any way too take off car oil stains on a driveway?

Answer 1

Go buy a bag of Oil dry and grind it in on the spot you want removed. Grind it in like your doing the twist or mashed potato. Sweep up leftovers. If you use enough Oil dry, it will only take like 10 mins. You pour, grind, and sweep. No need to let it sit for any length of time.

i worked at a gas station for 5 years and used this method myself. i was amazed everytime. of course, it dont take much to amaze me.

Answer 2

There are various products on the market for this. I've used Gunk in the past along with a wire brush. Follow the directions, scrub with the wire brush and most or all of the stain should be gone. The cleaned area will be slightly different in color from the rest of the driveway, but over time will blend in.

Answer 3

We do our own oil changes and it's inevitable that we get oil everywhere. it just wouldn't be any fun if we didn't! We've always used kitty litter. After you pour it on there liberally, do the twist and try to grind that kitty litter into the concrete. chance are you won't be success full at grinding it into the concrete, but you should be success full at soaking up the oil. now we usually do this soon after we do the spill and then we still let the kitty litter sit overnight, or if were lazy, over a couple nights.
The dry concrete idea sounds like a good idea, but we have cats so we've always had kitty litter. if the oil's been sitting for a while, you might need to try to loosen it with gasoline or maybe even diesel fuel.

Answer 4

Mixed water with degreaser solution and spray over the concrete driveway and its surrounding walls affected by oil stains. Use a plactic brush to scrub the affected area. Let it stand for few minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Answer 5

Use DAWN dish washing detergent. I used it last year on mine and it took it right up. I squirted it on the oil spot and rubbed it in with a stiff broom and hosed it off. Works better than any of them other ideas, I have tried them all and Dawn works best and easiest.Last year when there was a truck wreck spilling oil all over the interstate here in Cincinnati home of Proctor and Gamble who make Dawn , the fire department called P and G and requested some Dawn to clean up the mess and Pand G sent them over a truckload and it cleaned up the oil.

Answer 6

I have done 3 things with success.

1. Cat litter overnite will absorb most of it up out of the concrete.

2. Coca-Cola overnight and rinse.

3. 3 scoops of Oxyclean desolved in 1 gallon of HOT water poured over the spill and leave on over night, rinse and you're good!

Good Luck!

Answer 7

the way i've got got here across is to cover the stain with a number of of stay Dry and then pour some lacquer thinner on it. the thinner penetrates and mixes with the oil and the stay Dry soaks all of it up. after a couple of minutes. artwork it in a sprint greater with a stiff broom and then sweep it up. it is often worked super for me. solid success.

Answer 8

let sun heat drive way, pour pure concrete on it ( NOT REDI-MIX) , let it sit a few hours and sweep. Do not wash. it should pull up oil stains.

Answer 9

Use a little gasoline on it and then rub with a rag. Then put sand or dirt over it and scrub it in and then wash with powerful hose and detergent.

Answer 10

Use kitty litter (the cheaper the better) to absorb the excess and follow up with Lestoil and HOT water.....
