how do i remove motor oil from concrete garage floor?

Answer 1

Acids don't work on motor oil stains. Solvents like lacquer thinner or gasoline will make the stain worse, because it will thin down the petroleum and will absorb into the concrete deeper.
Use the cat liter to absorb the excess oil, sweep that up. Use a liquid detergent to break down the oil, and a stiff bristle "Deck Brush" to scrub the stain, then hit it with a power washer or strong hose stream. Then treat the spot with chlorine bleach.

Answer 2

Try some dish liquid like Dawn or Joy etc. I know for a fact that the company Melalueca makes a product called Tough N' Tender that will take it out, and it's all eco friendly.

Answer 3

ugl makes a product for cleansing concrete. i imagine it really is termed concrete cleanser/degreaser. it really is an outstanding product, I easily have used it and it bumped off pretty a lot each and each of the oil. muriatic acid would help, in spite of the indisputable fact that the ugl cleanser will artwork significantly better suited.

Answer 4

Try the cleaner TSP. If it's a small patch try lacquer thinner.

Betcha HomeD has a special product for that. Like GUNK.
