Cleaning Product To Remove Engine Oil From Driveway

Post by Gayno » Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:45 pm

Anyone got any recommendations?

Spilled a bit on the drive last week, and moving out in 4 weeks isn't enough time for it to naturally wear away! :lol:

I just pour degreaser (jizzer or similar) on it, leave it for a few minutes and spray off with a hose.

What's the driveway made off?

If it's a type of macadam, or similar bound aggregate surface just be careful what products you put on it as some can break the binder down and your left with a bit of a ditch with loose stones in. Gunk driveway degreaser did this to mine! :lol:

But it did shift the oil at least! :lol:

dirtblaster tip on a karcher pressure washer and elbow grease on a scrubbing brush. you will need to remove the layer that is contaminated.

Powdered wisdom teeth would likely be a good abrasive ...
