    Hi Olivia, is this a floor in your house, or a patio? Here are a couple of ideas that may help you out for inside and outside.

    Get those unsightly grease, oil, and transmission fluid stains off your concrete driveway or garage floor. Spray them with oven cleaner. 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.


    Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water. Spray the water spots thoroughly with the vinegar solution, saturating them completely. Let it sit for five minutes. Scrub the stained areas with a nylon-bristled scrub brush to remove the stains.

    One of these should work


    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). Hereā€™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 ā€” or actually eat away ā€” 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 youā€™re done.

    If you could get the entire floor to look like this I think it would be a interesting look. How large of an area is this on?

    Hi Olivia, Mix 1 cup of bleach with 2 gallons of water in a bucket to remove stubborn leaf marks. Apply the mixture to the concrete and let it sit without drying for five minutes. Scrub the stain vigorously with a big brush and rinse off the bleach mixture with a power washer or garden hose full blast. It may need to be repeated to get ALL the stain off. .
