    Can't thanks you enough for this video. My Minivan leaked oil on my brother=in-laws pristine concrete driveway. I tried the liquid laundry detergent with limited results.

    What I do to get grease stains off the driveway is to wait at least a day before rain is in the forcast, and use a stiff brush to wet the area then poor dawn dish soap,scrub it in and let the rain rinse it all away. Works like a charm!

    Powdered laundry detergent works pretty well - sprinkle it on the stain, then just moisten it, then leave it.
    Hose it of, while scrubbing -seems to work faster than the liquid stuff.
    Also effective for finding any cuts you may have on your hands...
    I'm amazed that the adhesive on the tape survived the ordeal!
    That's damn good tape.

      We always poured gas on it, scrub and let it evaporate then powdered detergent, bleach and a little water and scrub and rinse. It not only cleaned the oil stain but but made the whole area look brand new. Gas by itself gets about 90 percent of the oil stain but it looks light brown not black, and it only costs like 5 dollars for a whole gallon.

We all freaked out and threw dirt on it to extinguish the flames. Later Mom saw the clean spot burned through the perpetual oil stain and said that we should have used more of whatever we had put on that clean spot. We never did tell her we almost incinerated her Caprice. Good times!

    I take a huge bottle of dawn and coat the oil stains. I just leave it and let the rain eventually wash it away. I had a huge oil leak a while back and i washed what I could. After, I coated the whole area with a thin layer of dawn dish soap. It sat there for weeks until it finally rained. Maybe 8 weeks. It came out more beautiful then the rest of my driveway.

      @@nineisalso6237 You only need to douse it with water to dilute it and you don't need a lot of muratic acid to clean an entire driveway. 1 cup of acid in a 10 gallon bucket is safe. And if you're that worried about it, mixing another bucket of water with baking soda right behind it is enough to completely neutralize the acid. Muratic acid is used in pool cleaning. Theres a lot of DIY garage epoxy coatings that recommend using muratic acid to rough up the concrete flooring just enough to allow the epoxy to grab onto the pores of the concrete for a lasting finish. Pure concentrate of it is what will kill you - even from the fumes.
      If you use proper PPE and follow the instructions - it won't even kill your grass.

    I've always just used kitty litter. My dad taught ne this. We've never had a cat, but always had kitty litter in the garage, lol. And of course, I just changed my oil and spilled a bit, so I rewatched this. I think the backcrete could have worked better if it was worked into the stain more woth hour feet, that's how I've always used the kitty litter.
    Sprinkle kitty litter on stain. Scrub it into the concrete with feet so that it breaks into a powder, filling all the pours. Allow to absorb the oil for about 30 minutes, and then sweep up. The backcrete got wet, and I think that might have been a problem too. But great video guys!!

  • @ouch1011

    I used to work as a mechanic and the best thing that I found for oil and grease was Castrol Super Clean. Comes in a purple jug, you can buy it just about anywhere that sells engine oil (Autozone, Oreilleys, even Walmart). It’s cheap, it smells like something that would definitely kill you if you drank it (so you know it works), it’s supposedly biodegradable, and it works miracles on oil. We would use it to clean the concrete floors in the shop. I suspect it’s probably similar to the Rustoleum stuff they used, but it seems to be more readily available.

  • @BiggMo

    The bacterial product failure is probably due to the age of the stain. I suspect that it’s less effective on older stains because sunlight (uv spectrum) would neutralize the elements the bacteria would need to feed on.

    Best thing to use to clean any concrete surface is a mixture of water, bleach, and a little bit of dawn dish soap. it kills sap. algae, mold, mildew which is most of the stains on driveways.
    The dawn soap acts as a surfactant to help keep the bleach on the surface and also helps clean off oil and grease

    I remember doing my first ever oil change in the street infront of my parents house and nobody informed me that the oil catcher was broken so I unknowingly spilled oil diagonally down the driveway and had to furiously scrub it off before my parents got home. Luckily fresh oil stains come out fairly easily with dish soap.

    Another go to option for me on a driveway is Purple Power, that works very well.
