Question

How can i get oil stains off my drive way?

Answer 1

rent a sandblaster and you can do the job quick

Answer 2

put new pavment

Answer 3

Sprinkle some Kitty Litter or Dry Oil Sweep on the oil stains.  Using a push broom, sweep the kitty litter back and fourth over the stains several times.  Scrub the oil stains down with some detergent.  Spray over what you have scrubbed with a pressure washer.  Repeat this process three times.

Answer 4

Dawn dishwashing detergent poured full strength on the stain.  Scrub in well with a scrub brush and let it sit for a minute or two.  Rinse and see what you think.

Answer 5

My son recently dumped 3 quarts of oil on my driveway while changing his oil.  I did the following:

Step 1 - Used oil dry (like kitty litter) to pick up most of the oil

Step 2 - Spread laundry detergent over the stain, added a small amount of water and scrubbed the stain throughly.

Step 3 - Rinsed with copious amounts of water from highest pressure I could get from your garden hose.

Step 4 - Wait 3 months or so and it will be essentially gone.

Alternatively you could rent a pressure washer.  I hear they make quick work of concrete stains.

Answer 6

If it's fresh you might have a chance with detergent and boiling water. If it's an old stain, you need to use a specialist concrete cleaner. You can Google for them. Frankly though, I never have achieved total success with old stains.  Good Luck.

Answer 7

Simple Cat Litter will do the job.

Answer 8

a pail of water ,TSP, and a scrub brush
