What'sthe best way to remove old motor oil stains from a concrete driveway?

Answer 1

Use Oxyclean or Grease Lighting and put on your driveway and let it set and than scrub it up. Boric acid works the best. ( get at any hardware store)

Answer 2

Another good thing to use for cleaning concrete is tomato juice, ketchup or just about anything with a tomato base as the main ingrediant. It may sound strange, but the acid in tomatoes is a powerful cleaner. After applying, leave it sit for a couple of hours and then rinse off with water. It is biodgradable and environmentally safe.

Answer 3

I swa this on one fo those Tv shows and I tried it. It really works. Pour some mineral spirits or paint thinner on the spot then cover it with kitty litter, the stuff they use in garages to dry up spills,or even sand. Leave it overnight and sweep it up the next day and magically it's gone. You can do this on old stains or new. It really works!!!!

Answer 4

Get a biodegradable degreaser from an auto parts store pour it on scrub and rinse, repeat. Don't use kitty litter or oil dry as in most states now it is illegal to trow it in the trash.

Answer 5

When I was younger we sprayed shaving cream (not the gel kind) on someones drive. When they cleaned the cream off of their driveway, you could still read what we wrote since it cleaned the drive. You might want to try it, it could work.
