So I'm just going to clear up any confusion in these comments...WHICH THERE ARE A LOT. I have been a Wastewater Civil Engineer for 15 years now and that specific drain in the video WILL NOT go to any drinking water nor will it impact the environment in any way. In fact there is a sterilization process that actually happens where the sewers end. As a Wastewater Civil Engineer, you design the sewer systems with potential threats in mind for decades to come. These sewers are MEANT to handle some crazy stuff and the products in this video are nothing compared to some of the things I have seen being dumped into sewers; in fact we design them to handle any liquid that would run off from any vehicle. To the creator: This was an excellent video and your method works like a charm. You have nothing to worry about. Too many people are misinformed and jump to ridiculous conclusions. Best of luck with your channel!
@@ggjjggtgujfh8783 Wow look at all the likes you got 2 month's later HUH ??? Another freakin blowhard, like we've come to expect from the shit for brains section. Are you SURE you wanna be a Night club comic ???
Joe P. Well said. This was a GREAT video. I already have the kitty litter in place. All we had available was Fast Orange, so I sprayed that on first, then covered it with the kitty litter. I'm sure with that, and some weather erosion that thing's will turn out just fine. Our spot wasn't even close to being that big. I agree with you 100%, Great video ! I learned to ignore comments from the numb nuts section. They are as inevitable as the flies that dance beneath the pools of their armpits..
Man why is everyone crying in this comment section? The process works and that specific drain isn't harming anything. RELAX!!! Thanks for information brother!
I tried this today and it actually worked. I should’ve took a few before pics. I showed my brother the results and he thought I took a pic of a different spot.
Worked great......used the carb cleaner...cat litter, swept up litter and then power washed it......thanks for cheap method and pretty easy....I had the Easy Off just in case..ha ha ...
To add....I have had success in any method that uses kitty litter.....by adding this step. Instead of sprinkling litter on the stain, work-it-in the surface with a brick or 2 x 4 piece....to crush and work it more into the stain...almost to the point of making the litter change to a "powder"....then later, brush up or sweep away or shop-vac up......
By immediately putting the kitty litter down, it would have absorbed all the cleaner. And the street is only lighter from the kitty litter dust that was left behind. Take a hose to it, and it will look just as it did.
I’m skeptical that it will stay good after the kitty litter washes away. Only method I’ve found to work is to bake the oil off with a blow torch. You’ll smell it and it will pull its out from down in the asphalt.
Will definitely try this out, I have a leaking car and there is a pretty noticeable oil stain on the road in front of my house, it looks so ghetto I am sometimes embarrassed to move my car during the day.
Pretty sure the neighbors were watching Me do the foot grind shuffle. Takes a while to get it to a dust... Next performance I'll try the Carb or brake clean first. I hate being the embarrassed messy neighbor & I've fixed the leak now.
It's best if you wipe it with a tile or paper tile right after you spray it. Instead of using kitty litter or letting it dry on its own because the oil will rise out of the concrete and then settle back in leaving a stain just alot lighter one. The spray dries really fast so the kitty litter doesn't have time to soak it all up
Great Video. I wish I would have seen it before my first try on my driveway. I tried Oil Vanish, Paint Thinner, Chem 12 Carb Cleaner, and bleach. You are right, carb cleaners worked the best along with kitty litter. I stomped and grinded down the kitty litter until it was a broken down powdery form. The stain was months old and around 5 feet in diameter. Some guy in another video rubbed a brick into the kitty litter. That's effective also but physical if you are injured like I am right now. Again, thanks for going to all the trouble of making the video.
Here's a question. I have an unfinished concrete floor in my dining room/kitchen area. A relative cleaned my truck out and brought the windshield washer and anti-freeze jugs inside while detailing the truck. The anti-freeze jug developed a leak, and anti-freeze pooled and dripped across the floor. I sopped up the puddle, and used paper towels to soak up the droplets across the floor. Problem: I have a dog that literally walks along, Hoover-ing up anything lying on the floor, so I'm terrified of her licking the anti-freeze dried on the floor. Can you think of any way I can clean an INDOOR anti-freeze spill off of concrete? Do you think mineral spirits would handle that? I have some since I used to paint. Thanks in advance if you see this!
Totally likable dude trying to fix a problem. Again, GOOD dude. Straight-piping shitty chemicals directly into the storm drain, which means "straight into the creek." I HATE being whiny, but i fish a lot and this is definitely jacks up all the super awesome little species that enable OTHER species to make the water clean and habitable. And even if you don't give a crap about all the species in the creek, just remember those species interact to make the water clean. Again, GOOD dude! I like him! I like that he wants to fix the street!
This will work if you have a oil leak on your car take cat litter put it on the oil put on a old pair of shoes stand on the catliter and twist your body so your feet twist side to side your body wait grind in the litter in the graound swep the area you see no stain in your drive way fix's your oil leak before your car catch on fire
The key to removing oil or gas stains is to address it quickly and not wait weeks, months or years. TIP: start of with using DAWN FOAMING DISH SOAP. This stuff is amazing, the best grease-cutting cleaner on the planet. Put enough on the first time, don't scrimp - you'll see it working immediately, put a little elbow grease by scrubbing a few minutes and see the stain vanish - maybe not completely but with good results . . . try it you've got nothing to lose.
Yup true but some ppl that rent could careless about someone else's property and your stuck doing this. It happens!! S**t happens and we gotta clean it up. 😂
Instead of commercial clay granule oil dry products try this....it works! Fill a right sized bucket about half full of ordinary cat litter....spray just a small amount of WD-40 to dampen the top surface...stir or shake well. Apply to dry stain on a warm day and crush into powder with your foot. The stain begins to wick up almost within minutes....Good Luck...!
Grinding into the concrete in a fine dust removes it totally, Because you will have disabled the surface layer it covers, allowing the smallest particles to absorb the oil.
I just saw another video where some people commented and said to use WD40. I'm going to try that since I already have some. I tried brushing with hot water and dish soap and it did nothing.
I used carburetor cleaner on the cement sidewalk and covered it with kitty litter. It worked like a charm. I let it sit overnight. Didn't work on my asphalt driveway though. I tried pure Dawn dish soap on the asphalt and it took most of it off but it still left a visible spot. It was much lighter though. I didn't put any kitty litter on top of the soap. Make sure you use that clay grainy type litter. I have a cat so I used the clumping litter.
The stain was not removed. Some of the surface gunk may have been removed, but the stain is still there. You did not hose off the kitty litter. Once you hose it off, you will see that the stain is still fully there. The kitty liter is only making it look like a lighter color until it rains or you hose it off. Kitty Liter absorbs oil just fine, but id does not dye the asphalt or concrete to a lighter color thus removing the embedder stain/discoloration from the asphalt or concrete.
Spend $2.50 on a 10lb bag of concrete. Stiff brush it and leave concrete on stain. Brush it in several times for several days. Do it when the forecast is good for a few days. Works like a charm.
if you spray it with a hose you will see the original stain has NOT been removed...only looks like it because the kitty litter is covering it...dont waste you time with a brick either does not work....after 1st rain it will look the same... get the oil remover goof off...goes on like a cream and dries ...sweep it off.. may take 2-3 applications but it works.. i spent a year getting oil off my driveway trying all types of Stuff... this is the only one that works..even on old oil stain
I found out in the end that for really deep, long-standing oil stains, electrical contact cleaner was the only thing that could get rid of them. I used, and its been awhile, a contact cleaner from Home Depot called CVC, I think. Other than that, nothing I tried got up that really old stain. Bleack, Carburetor cleaner, Paint Thinner, Oil Vanish, kitty litter - Nothing worked. I must have spent 200.00 on different items. I was going to buy one of those cement blasters, but the ones with the power that I needed were way more than I wanted to spend. And, I have to go out on my concrete driveway again today to fight the leak my brother-in-law put down over a month period. Last time, I got ended up spray painting the area with a mix of white and some other colors that did not come out to bad. I will start with the contact cleaner again today. 100 degree weather.
I used both kitty litter and the contact cleaner, separately and at the same time. In the end, I found that kitty litter worked the best. I still use it when I get oil stains. I have worn out a couple of good shoes grinding the kitty litter deep into the whitish concrete, and the later sweeping it up. It not perfect, but it is acceptable by the local HOA. Hope this helps.
Wanna know something ? You did absolutely nothing to that stain 😂😂. Just covered it up with Kitty litter powder that you forgot to sweep up! It won’t suck out oil by just laying it on top of the concrete, wanna know the trick to really getting oil stains out with litter ? Put some down, use your boot, and grind the kitty litter into the concrete. Wait one week, use a metal brissle brush and brush off the powder that soaked up oil, repeat again. After another week, use heavy duty degreaser, sit for 20 min, use hot water to pressure wash it out. That’s how you are suppose to do it. Period, all this other crap in the comments, just covers the stain up and let’s it seep further into the concrete, making it impossible to remove.
Ok, so got to the kitty litter part, then my cats started shitting on the carpet, because I used all the litter in the driveway. So I hired a carpet cleaning service, who showed up in an older cleaning van. After two hours, carpets are clean, but now I have a HUGE oil stain from their van. ........ Just want to cry!
If this is serious, if call the cleaning company back up and make them clean your driveway. If they dont, either sue them or repeat but with enough litter left over for your cats as well. I'm sure this is a joke though so DAMN!
I recommend trying some "Oil Vanish". Just pour it on and use a deck scrub brush to agitate and then rise off. You can let it sit for a little while before working it in with the brush but it will get up all of that old oil. Like you said that kitty litter is best for fresh spills.
Here's a question, Michael, in case you see this a year later, LOL. I have an unfinished concrete floor in my dining room/kitchen area.

DachshundsRule Look up the propane torch method. I’ve used it in my garage successfully. Before that though, have you tried purple power or zep concrete cleaner? It won’t just come out in one pass, gonna take a few times.
@@thechief9044 Honestly wasn't sure what to try--I've got the area blocked off with a big "baby gate" to keep the fur babies out the area. I'm physically disabled, so bending and scrubbing is going to be a problem--you think I could use a propane torch?
1. Scrub the spot with a broom or brush before you put down the litter; 2. DON'T SWEEP YOUR CAT LITTER DOWN THE STORM DRAIN: put it in a bucket for proper disposal.
I’ve seen another video using concrete stone (white, looked like breeze block type that’s used to build a wall) to rub it off and it appeared to be working and did not cost anything as you can find one lying around or try neighbours back yard ....
I use ash from BBQ pit, never have to purchase kitty litter or saw dust. I do use whisk push brush a day later and repeat several times. But hey no spray cleaners or kitty litter cost
@@shenawalsh1613 fresh oil, you can use the cat litter or absorbent first. Let the litter/absorbent soak up as much oil as possible. When confident much of the oil has been soaked up, pour the vinegar on the spot.
You need to get down on it literally like dancing to a song the more you smash it into the oil the better and you can reuse the kitty litter for the other spots.
There is a lot of different things that work, but anything can’t disappear the stain, You will clean it and turn it white but the stain still on the same place, I tried EEEEEVerything and that’s the truth.
Like in my case.....when maybe it's not you, but others, like the US govt Post Office stops at my street mailbox EVERY DAY and drops off their oil load from their leaky vehicles !!! ..... complaining to the USPO does no good.

Exactly sentiment right now 😔
the man: ''I suggest to wear some sort of goggles or protective equipments while doing it'' meanwhile he is bear naked doing it!
brake cleaner works just as good if not better than carb cleaner it helps pull the soil to the surface
One in each hand= the man way to do things..
So did you scoop it up? I hope you’re not letting it drain into the storm drain?

Thanks for a GREAT video, you ROCK !!!
No end result vid footage?
I'm 53 grew up scraping and building cars. This ordeal is part of my memory on my family. Sorry Fam!
Great way, kinda, if you had vacuumed up the kitty litter.
There is a lot of different things that work, but anything can’t disappear the stain, You will clean it and turn it white but the stain still on the same place, I tried EEEEEVerything and that’s the truth.
And u put something else on it before.. Do u recall what?
poured that shit into the drain huh
watch out for the council
Cute!!
So you don’t show results ,?????
just use oven cleaner and rinse away with water ... this is to much
Oil burns, use propane
living life really??
@@DaytonaBlueHr Yep, its slow depending on depth of the stain, but works.
Just skip to 1:05 because the rest is proliferous and repetative bilge.

I have to ask. How shitty do you have to be to not clean your oil stains *when it happens*?
Like in my case.....when maybe it's not you, but others, like the US govt Post Office stops at my street mailbox EVERY DAY and drops off their oil load from their leaky vehicles !!! ..... complaining to the USPO does no good.
