how can i remove oil from a concrete driveway?

Answer 1

Speedy dry or the auto parts stores carry chemical solutions you can use. Don't ask me how effective because I only use speedy dry and I'm satified with the results. If you get it right away it generally removes stain with it. You might try a pressure washer along with the chemical solution???

Answer 2

First remove the excess oil with an oil dry or kitty litter. This will get up any that is not soaked up by drive way. Then get a de-greaser and follow directions for wash. Some need to be absorbed and agitated then hosed off. These things can be bought at Walmart and Meijer Stores. They seem to be cheaper than an auto store. Good Luck and Happy Cleaning.

Answer 3

Go to an Auto Parts Store and pick up a package of driveway cleaner. Use as directed and the oil can be cleaned up.

Answer 4

I find the best way to remove oil stains off concrete is to take tide washing powder and put a whole lot on it enough to cover the stain real good, then wearing shoes grind it in, it takes a lot of rubbing then wash it off that should do it. I know this sounds weird but if that doesn't work while it is still wet put some more Tide on it rub it in and put dirt on top of that, and rub that in also, then rinse it, give it a try, it can't hurt.

Answer 5

to get oil out of a concrete driveway all you have to do is dig up the concrete driveway and put in a new one.

Answer 6

2 options-'all' laundry detergent-pour full strength will lift the oil...if it is just stained,go to a local hardware store and buy a gallon of muriatic acid and a fibre brush.use it diluted but be careful..it is acid,it will burn you a little,and it will etch the concrete.but it will lift the stain

Answer 7

I have had good results from dawn dish soap and your clothes detergent. mix into a paste and coat the area, more like gravy not peanut butter. Then rinse and reapply until you get it

Answer 8

I would think a power washer with a detergent will do the trick you can rent them good luck

Answer 9

Rent a steam cleaner.
