I live in an apartment with an attached garage. I've got oil stains on the floor from doing oil changes and was wondering what I could do to remove them?

 

I have had decent results using gasoline and a wire brush.

 

I normally spray anything I spill with some degreaser right after it happens then clean that up. After its been there for a bit.. not sure. Time to borrow or buy a powerwasher. Id like to have a good enough reason to get one of those then powerwash everything. Driveway, house, cat, etc.

 

Spray the sh*t out of it with WD-40. I mean a lot! That will loosen the oil from the concrete. Then use cat litter. The cat litter will lift the wd40 along with the loosened oil stains in your concrete.



I've also used quickrete alone with good results. Its extremely absorbent.

 

Tide! Wet it down, spread it with Tide and make a paste and scrub it in. Let it sit for a 1/2 hour or so... wet it down once again give it another scrub and rinse. Lather, rinse and repeat if needed. :biggrin: Works like a champ and no need to buy expensive floor cleaners. But, Safety Kleen has a floor cleaner that works very well also.
