Question

Tried soaking , with bleach , and soapy water ,scrubed and power washed but the stains are still there .. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

i'd give up! i was going to suggest lots of soap but you've tried it don't know what else to say

Answer 2

There are three products that are found in the automotive department that will remove those grease marks for you without harming anything else. Simple Green, Castrol Purple Degreaser and Krud Kutter. Spray them on, allow to sit 5-10 minutes then come at it with a stiff brush and some water. Rinse the worry away. Next time a grease incident happens, stomp one of the following into the affected areas, allow to a few hours to overnight, then scrape up that mess, if any residual is left, treat as noted above.

cat litter

sand

baling soda

cornstarch

flour

This method works really well in the event of a spill in the house only you don't stomp it in. Works on liquids, goos (egg,detergent, oil, etc) and even vomit as it also eliminates the smell.

Answer 3

Do you think that Cillit Bang might do the trick.  The advetisement indicates that it can clean almost anything.  I would have thought though that a soapy substance would have broken down the grease.  You could try at an ironmongers/hardware store and ask if there is a proprietary brand that could help you.

Answer 4

there's a product garages use for gas oil ect idk w/ its called but i would try the auto dept

Answer 5

Petrol will remove everything.

However,your patio material is probably porous and the grease and cleaning materials have probably soaked in and permanently discoloured those areas.

Nevertheless,clean with petrol and live with the mild discolouration or replace the damaged area.

Answer 6

I thought that a pressure washer cleaned anything! If you haven't already, try very hot water on the patio. High temperatures break down grease. Then you may be able to mop it up.

Answer 7

very hot soapy water  scrubbed onto the greasy area with a wet and dry sander , hard work but  worth the effort

Answer 8

Apply more grease to cover the entire patio thus giving an even overall effect. Remove excess grease with hot soapy water.

Ta da.

Answer 9

Try soda crystals they are in a box and you can get them at an hardware store and most supermarkets, and corner shops  it worked for me.
