Removing Oil Stains From Driveway?

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys/girls,

I need some ideas for removing oil stains from my driveway.

They are dry stains that have been there for a while and some are only a few months old.

Already searched the web and found that kitty litter should help with the fresh ones.

Anyone have any great tips?

Cheers,

DK

Cheap Degreaser from Supercheap, Good Scrubbing brush/broom and a Hose with good pressure/Pressure cleaner or Steam Cleaner.

ehhhhhhhhh too much effort haha I should have never knocked it over

Got a few cans of degreaser and some kitty litter.

Haven't got a high pressure washer so I will have to see how things go.

Anyone used petrol before to clean it off?

Kill it with FIRE!!!

Try Petty if you wish. Bleach? Sulphuric Acid? Sodium Bicarbonate and Vinegar? Box of Laundry Powder, Hot Water, Toothbrush and a knife to the Missus's Throat?

Damn you kids are lazy today.

Hydrochloric acid, thinned out in case you look over the instructions.

With new car?

[Manuel Kasko]

Nah new car still hasn't arrived

electra clean works really well, its a bit expensive but it takes barely any effort, pretty much just spray on wipe off.

[Manuel Kasko]

Okay thanks for that Shaun.
All of the info I found on the internet was about kitty litter but not for dried stains.
So this is all really helpful for those hard to get dry stains

Salt should work for fresh stuff too.

What type of driveway is it?

[Manuel Kasko]

Sorry Jason it was concrete
Ended up using carby cleaner and a scrubbing brush.

Tried like 5 different things I read on the internet and that worked the best.

Couldn't find any Hydrochloric acid
But I did use drain cleaner and that worked wonders, it made my skin come off my knuckles however lol
