I did some researching and found Brake cleaner and some speedy dry works for oil stains...and it does. I used it and it got alot up. The stain on the left was far worse than the the big stainbrfore I started.. The large stain was pretty good but I killed the can of brake cleaner and in my infinite wisdom used a full can of engine degreaser for a second cleanup. It made the stain a thousand times worse. Its now a giant black stain worse than it was before I even started.

Any idea how to get this up?
I dont want the oil and chemicals on the tires

 

Kittle litter will suck it out or "oil dry" whatever you want to calll it.
It might take a week or so, but it will do it!

 

Yup, in some cases, I've also used kitty litter and it did the trick.

 

No chemicals for a quick clean?
I was thinking paint thinner or acetone or something but have no idea. Didnt really want to use Muriatic acid

 

Use kitty litter & scrub the spot with a brick. Using the brick breaks the litter into smaller pieces & works it into the pores of the concrete. Finish up with laundry detergent & a wire brush & rinse with water.

 

Would a pressure washer work after you`ve done all of that?

 

Agree with the others. Been there dozens of times. The best stuff I've found is the "kitty litter" from NAPA.

Like the others say, it takes a while, but the litter will actually "pull" the oil out. Patience my friend. Patience.

 

 

I actually watched a youtube video of a guy using a torch on his oil stained paver patio...it worked good. I have a roofers torch that could put down some hellfire but I'm a tad concerned about a fire in the garage as degreaser is a petroleum based product. Although the speedy dry got up all the liquid and I'm just left with a stain.

 

Step 1: confirm fire insurance is up to date
Step 2: go to Home Depot and buy several canisters of propane
