How to remove oil stains from my driveway?

The stain is only a couple days old and fairly moderate sized, maybe the size of a small towel.How to remove oil stains from my driveway?
Everyone has their own solutions that they swear by and most of them work.





Personally, I just pour some kitty litter on it (cheap stuff will down), grind it in, leave it overnight. I then sweep it up. On fresh stains, that should get a good portion of the stain.





After that, go to the hardware store and find a cleaner designed for getting oil stains out. There are a bunch of them and they all work fairly well.





If you want to use household items, dish or laundry soup work also, but won't have the same results as a dedicated cleaner. Simple Green also works great if you have it.





Some people recommend coke, I've used it and it works to a degree, but almost everything else is better.How to remove oil stains from my driveway?
here is what I found:





Step1


Pour cola on the oily or dry stained areas, and leave the cola on overnight. Squirt a generous amount of dishwashing liquid into a bucket until you have a good lather. Rinse with the soapy water, then with a garden hose.





Step2


Sprinkle baking soda or an absorbent powder such as cornmeal or sawdust on the oily spots. If the stain is dry, wet it first to make a scouring paste. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom.





Step3


Sprinkle automatic dishwasher detergent on the oily concrete. Leave it for several minutes, then pour boiling water on the stained area. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom, then rinse.





Step4


Try a commercial concrete cleaner such as Garage and Driveway Cleaner by Red Devil Co. or a grease solvent such as Benzine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.





Step5


Sprinkle trisodium phosphate (TSP) on the oily concrete. If the stain is dry, wet it first. Let it stand for 30 minutes. Scrub using a stiff broom. TSP is a dangerous product; if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing. Also, never wash a TSP product down storm drains.





Step6


As a last resort, combat tough spills with muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Apply the acid following the manufacturer's directions, and let it soak for several seconds. Follow with a pressure washer set at 2,500 to 3,000 lbs. per square inch (psi), or 176 to 211 kg per square cm. Like TSP, muriatic acid is a dangerous product; likewise, if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing, and never wash such a product down storm drains.





Step7


After trying any of the strategies above, sprinkle baking soda over the cleaned area to neutralize the solution you've used.



Here an old trick, and I do mean old,we use to use when my dad owned a service station.Pour some kerosene on the spot then take a soap powder,like Tide and sprinkle it on the spot.Scrub and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes.Then wash off with pressure hose or just home water pressure if you don't own high pressure unit.That should do it.It worked wonders in our grease rack.
