Getting oil stains of a driveway.

[billyo]

Visited my grandparents and leaked oil on their concrete drive. It is a new drive and they were not happy! I got a right rollocking. I said I'd get the stain off buy I just cant seem to shift it.

HELP does anyone have any ideas how I can get the oil stain off the drive?

tfr truck wash will do it that what i use on the work shop floor and a jet wash but on the drive bit of tfr and then wash it off

see if theyve got any jeyes fluid, the old stuff ( it was banned due to certain chemicals ), it should lift it. I started using a mix of chemicals i got from work - degreaser, fat cleaner and caustic takes it off no problem and i get it for free :blink1:

Get some patio and drive cleaner from the garden centre

Ive heard that sand can help soak it up.

Sand will soak it up if its like a puddle ( you can also get proper oil granuals for this ) but it wont lift the black oil stain itself
