Answer 1

The best thing to use to soak up oil and grease stains is corn starch. Its much cheaper and you probably already have it in your cupboard. And, unlike the kitty litter, you can just sweep it off into the grass and not worry about having dispose of it since its 100% biodegradable.

And, in the future, don't allow people with leaky engines to park underneath your BB hoop!

Answer 2

Just sprinkle some laundry powder onto the soaked in stain then

- Add hot water rub in detergent (lather up well), then rinse with a pressure cleaner.

- Left over carbon stain can be bleached with chlorine (only for non colored concrete).

Answer 3

one word!!! Kitty-litter!!! sprinkle the kitty-litter over the oil stains when ever they occur. it will absorb all the oil. Use an STP type cleaner to really get the cement clean after that.

Then you and your friends can sit down and have a picnic.

Answer 4

don't wast time w kitty litter on a soaked in stain, it's good if on the surface.... drive way cleaner/lye is the best thing for oil ( lye & oil make soap ) works with motor oil too

Answer 5

Cat litter. It's an absorbent clay. Get something cheap, you aren't looking for odor controlling "crystals" or the like. Spread a generous amount on the spill. Grind it in (walk on it). Let sit. Sweep it up.

Answer 6

Try kitty litter or OilDry and if that doesnt work use DAWN dishsoap and baking soda mixed with warm water and a scrubby brush


Brake cleaner might work too

Answer 7
