What is the best solution to use to remove motor oil from Block Paving?Asked by Boblynn?

Answer 1

Steam jet cleaner,,,,,,

Answer 2

Lowe's has a very strong solution in a plastic bottle that connects to a garden hose and automatically mixes with you're house water.
At Lowe's it can be found near the driveway sealers. It's specially made to pre-clean driveways of grease and oil residue prior to re-sealing.
It's best to do this job on an overcast day or late afternoon so the sun will not evaporate the soap solution off as quickly. When you spray it on you will see a white foamy residue. Let it stand for five minutes and rinse with clear water

A bottle of Dawn dishsoap. Cost 1-3 dollars at Dollar General. Spray on water,,Squirt on some soap,,,use old broom to scrub,,,not hard just to make suds,,let set about 10 min,,then rinse off. If you have a pressure washer,,use soap in suction line of washer.

There is a concrete cleaner called TSP. It's rather strong, a powder, mixed in water and you might need a broom brush to put it on.
