Question

How do you get grease off driveway after it's been sitting for about 4 years?

Answer 1

pressure waher and steel brush

Answer 2

pressure washer

Answer 3

You can get a product from a hardware store that does exactly that. It is called a heavy-duty degreaser. Follow the directions - it basically tells you to pour the stuff on, leave it for the required time and then hose it off with cold water and a brush. Be careful - it can be corrosive, and do not let the water run into your garden or your plants might die.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Try to use bleach but be sure no animals are around

Answer 5

Pressure washers and heavy-duty Concrete Etcher and Degreaser will remove most of the discoloration from the surface, but after four years the grease/oils will have penetrated so much you will never get it looking like new.  If it is a serious and unlivable asthetic problem, I would use the etcher and degreaser with a pressure washer on the whole driveway, then apply a concrete resurfacing product.  Home Depot sells Quckcrete Concrete Resurfacer, but it is not cheap and I have never used it, but heard it mentioned often on "At home with Gary Sullivan."

Answer 6

pressure washer will take it off...
