How do you get Oil Stains out of Driveway Cement?
-
Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jul 26, 2012Depending upon the type of driveway it is there are a few things you can try. If its an asphalt driveway, First thing is Kitty litter. This will absorb some of the oil and draw it back up. Works well on cement also. The stain can be lifted with a good strong solution of dish washing soap that breaks down grease. A strong scrub brush and lots of elbow grease should do the trick nicely for you. You still may not get it all out. Stains on a porous surface is often difficult to deal with.Helpful Reply

Eli mackewich on Jul 27, 2015Take Blue Dawn and scrub brush heavily cover spot cover with a garbage bag, let soak in the sun for one hour then take off bag. Brush the Dawn into the stain, let sit uncovered in the sun for about 15 minutes then using scrub brush and water, clean area. This always works for me!Helpful Reply

Susi Downs on Nov 16, 2015I am a big fan of dawn, tilex and a Mr. Clean white sponge. If it can get tree sap off the car without damaging it I don't know why you can't use it on a driveway. Or you go old school and use car litter and a broom.Helpful Reply
