what can you use to remove an oil or trans mission fluid stain from a driveway? concrete?

Answer 1

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 2

I used cat litter to absorb standing oil and then sprinkle dry powdered concrete, wait until that got dirty looking and then scrape. Blends pretty well.

That's the most environmentally friendly way. The fast way is a product called Engine Gunk, then liberally swizzle sink dish soap (Dawn is best) over the spot and hose it on down to the gutter.

Answer 3

Dish detergant, water and a stiff brush. Let it dry and apply a sealer to the whole driveway.

Best stuff I've ever used---kitty litter or lime will only absorb surface oil and not get the imbedded oil out. Hardware stores carry it or go online to order.

Answer 5

spray some purple stuff on it and let it sit 10 min then rinse with high pressure nozzle or pressure washer.
