Depending on how old it is , I'd try scrubbing it with Dawn and hot water first .

Rub some sawdust or kitty litter into it to absorb the grease first keep changing it out so you dont rub the grease INTO the concrete Don't put Dawn or anything that might keep your stain from adhearing later.

Thanks! I've never heard of this product but will look for it the next time I'm at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Wanda · Answer

Thanks Bobbie! We purchased the stain yesterday but the Lowes we were at didn't carry Pour-and-Restore. I will try another store then order if not found.
