We are building a new home and the siding installers oiled their saw over our newly poured concrete porch. Help! We've already tried an industrial cleaner.

    I have used this method and it has worked on all kinds of oil and grease. Get Dawn dish detergent, pour it on directly to all of the oil or grease stains, and let it be. The rain will wash it away the next time it rains, the stain will either be gone or almost gone. Repeat if necessary, but I've only needed to do it once to get the stain out of pavers and trex decking. Hope this works for you.

    I would get in touch with the installers and have them take care of it. If your using a builder tell him about it. The siding installers are sub contractors that work for the builder.

    Nick is right, cat litter. Sprinkle litter on the spot and wearing old shoes grind the litter in then sweep up.

    I use baby powder on oil or grease stains, whether it be on cloths or any other objects. Put it on the stain and rub it in leave it on for a few hours and then brush it off. Hope this helps.

      Thanks so much! We are using baby powder in combination with a few things to try.
