What is the best way to clean concrete driveway floor,it has oil,grease spot on it long time.?

Answer 1

a product call "oil dry" it's like an absorbent gravel that you let set on the stain, then sweep away into a dust pan! I was in the trucking mechanic busines for 8 years..it works!

Answer 2

I use Goo-gone works very well. Cheap and only use few sprinkles. I found this to be cheapest, easiest and most effective method without having to go to hardware/carpat store and spending $$ on products that may or may not work.

1. If there is any wet oil, use paper towel to dry it up.
2. Spray Goo-gone evenly over the spill, moving the stream side-to site (across the spill).
3. Don't try to spread the liquid with anything, just leave it to work for about 2 minutes.
4. Use paper towel to clean up the dissolved oil and goo-gone
5. Spray with Windex, or upholstery cleaner and let it stand for 2-3 minutes.
6. Wash it with hose.

Concrete is left squeaky clean.

If the oil has been there for a while, or if there are many old drip-spots from the car, I let the water dry and start over from step 1. Repeating 2-3 times.

you can get Goo-gone (or similar Goo remover stuff) anywhere: Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart or any hardware or big grocery store. Costs around $2-$3 a bottle. Youu should nott need more than 1/10 of the bottle content for a moderate oil-spots under an engine

Answer 3

Garages and gas stations use the Oil Dry to soak up oil puddles, but it doesn't work as well on old stains.

The ground-in kitty litter does work really well. You can change it 2-3 times, sweeping up the absorbed litter between changings.

Dawn or another degreaser will work great on the remainder, but don't let it stay on too long or it'll make the stain worse. Hose it off.

Answer 4

When I was a mechanic in a workshop, I used to wash the area with petrol, rubbing it in well. Then put saw dust from a joinery shop on to it and let the saw dust soak up the petrol and oil.
There is a mark left but it soon fades. Saw dust from a joinery shop seemed to be the best as it is very fine and absorbent.
Don't use any acid that might attack the lime in the concrete.

Answer 5

Okay, this is gonna sound weird but it works.
You can either go out and buy one of those expensive degreasers from the auto parts store or do this 3 step process.

1. Scrub areaa with Dawn dishwashing liquid
2 When dry, spray Easy Off Oven cleaner Let dry
3. Rinse with water hose.

Good Luck

Answer 8

1] cover oil spot with kitty litter, 'stomp' it in with your feet - let sit overnight, and sweep up
2] scrub with lemon kool-aid, and water - wet, sprinkle powder, and let sit
Then scrub with a scrub brush, and rinse with the hose!
BE CAREFUL when you use any product with potential hazards - notify neighbors with pets or kids so they stay away from the driveway.
Hazards:
kitty litter
de-greasers
mineral spirits
driveway cleaner
etc., etc.
