    For small oil stains, cover the area with saw dust for a few hours and then with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar and let that sit for 30 minutes. Scrub the stain with a brush and hot water, then rinse the area thoroughly. For larger stains you'll need to use a commercial degreaser .

    I heard that clay based kitty litter may help pull out the oil.

    Hello,


    We have a newer concrete driveway that sometimes gets abused by contractors or service personnel. We try to observe and remove these oil stains ASAP. We use TSP for large areas or areas not treated immediately or this Easy off spray for stains we catch right away. Scrub with a stiff plastic kitchen type brush and rinse with water. Remember to wear personal protection as labels might direct.
