In this post we tried 2 products to get rid of stains in concrete. One worked better than the other and lessened the appearance. Oil Stains can be very hard to remove in concrete especially if they are old.
Hi Lenora, if the oil is new apply a some clay cat litter over the stain. Let it sit and absorb as much as possible. Sweep away and repeat a few times if it's saturated. Then apply a degreaser and pressure wash. You can also use a good cleaner degreaser from the automotive store and a stiff broom.
