Concrete driveways and garage floors are constantly used with vehicles and it often shows. Oil spills leave unattractive black splotches on concrete flooring that can also track into your home from the soles of your shoes. While these areas often end up stained by oil, you can usually remove these stains to restore your concrete’s clean look with a little effort and the right items. The key is to attack oil stains quickly by soaking up as much oil as possible before it seeps in.
- Pour clay or cat litter over the entire stain and rub it into the oil with a broom.
- Leave it on the oil for at least an hour, or longer if the stain is older, then sweep up the mess.
Most oil stains can be completely removed with this simple solution. If the stain has stubbornly remained, then a more serious chemical solution will be required, along with the required protective safety equipment.
