Oil stains on concrete driveway...

[SMS]

Sister-in-law had a crack in her oil pan when she got home last night apparantly...I went out to do some chores this morning and the entire contents of her oil pan were running down the driveway.

Got the oil pan replaced...spread some quick dry, swept it up then took a pressure washer and Castrol super clean to the remaining stain....still a big stain.

Gimme your tips and tricks for getting oil stains out of the driveway!

Convince Baker Hughes that it's seeping up out of the ground. They'll take care of the rest.

Bottle of clorox, let it set on there for about half an hour.

Charcoal lighter fluid....spray it on it will break down the oil and it will soak deep into the concrete and poof it's gone

I have seen the bleach trick. I works very well. One of my former neighbors was a shady tree and he would just go to the dollar store and get a bunch of the stuff and pour the stuff of, let it set for a minute, and wash it up. He said if he was a really good stain you can scub it some to help.

Get some powerded Tide with bleach, pour it on dry, sweep till it comes out.
sweep it up then wash drive way, bleach will turn it white , youll have to do the whole driveway.
Or powerwash it

All the suggestions here are good, but the stain is pretty much gonna hang on in spite of your best efforts. Stains add character.

CLR and hydrogen peroxide.

Muratic Acid (33%hydrocloric acid)

Scrub it with a plastic brush, then rinse with water.

Takes about 5 min, and is enviromentally sound.

oh, but then you will have one REALLY CLEAN spot on your driveway, and you will realize how dirty the rest of the driveway is. LOL

Dry cement mix. Rub it in and sweep it across a couple times. I never tried it on rough concrete but on a smooth shop it works pretty good.

Brake Cleaner. Yea, not the most "green" solution out there.

It's always worked for me.

Contact Mid American Chemical in OKC and ask them if they can sell you a quart of NP-9. Apply a little to the stain, let it set for awhile and wash away.

Parts washer solvent. Pour it on, scrub and dab with a shop rag.
