How do you remove grease or oil on the driveway?

Hi Vabruno50, I know there are products for this exact purpose, but I don't know the names of them. My son's car leaked oil on our driveway at our old house. We purchased an oil remover from Home Depot. It worked pretty well. Sorry I can't remember the name. If you go to a home improvement store, ask for the products to use for oil on your driveway. There were 4 or 5 to choose from at Home Depot.

How to Get Grease Off an Asphalt Driveway

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," said Benjamin Franklin. It's totally true when it comes to asphalt driveways. Says Chicago-area pavement contractor Performance Paving, oil and gasoline can eat away at the surface of your asphalt, so seal that asphalt driveway every few years (but not every year or the sealant will peel).

To clean grease off an asphalt driveway, once again the only thing you should use to get grease off an asphalt driveway is: dish soap and water.

Smother it with baking soda to absorb as much oil as you can, then sweep it up, it will turn brown. Then get some Super Clean at Walmart or any auto parts store and spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, then hose it off well.

WD-40. Did a leaky oil pan leave a big ugly spot in the middle of your concrete driveway? To get rid of an unsightly oil spot, just spray it with a generous amount of WD-40 and then hose it down with water.

Soda (Coca Cola). Here’s how to remove oil stains from concrete drive-ways and garage floors: Gather up a small bag of cat litter, a few cans of cola, a stiff bristle broom, bucket, laundry detergent, bleach, eye protection, and rubber gloves. Cover the stain with a thin layer of cat litter and brush it in. Sweep up the litter and pour cola to cover the area. Work the cola in with a bristle broom, and leave the cola for about twenty minutes. Mix 1/4 cup laundry detergent with 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) warm water and use it to mop up the mess.

Oven Cleaner. Get those unsightly grease, oil, and transmission fluid stains off your concrete driveway or garage floor. Spray them with Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can. Let it settle for 5-10 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse it off with your garden hose at its highest pressure. Severe stains may require a second application.

Kool-Aid. Nasty rust stains on your concrete? Mix unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid with hot water. Scrub and the rust stain should come right out.

Baking Soda. Salt and commercial ice-melt formulations can stain — or actually eat away — the concrete around your house. For an effective, but completely innocuous, way to melt the ice on your steps and walkways during those cold winter months, try sprinkling them with generous amounts of baking soda. Add some sand for improved traction.

Ammonia. Tired of those annoying discolorations on your concrete work? To get rid of them, scrub with 1 cup ammonia diluted in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) water. Hose it down well when you’re done.
