Removing Oil From Concrete

For those of you who follow Ghetto Garage you might remember a few posts back I related how a few weeks back I had my own minature Exxon Valdez disaster, which leaked significant amount of oil onto our small apartments even smaller patio.
Since then I have tried various methods to remover, or at least significantly reduce, the damage.

Here are some of the methods we have tried.

1) Dishwashing detergent and stiff plastic scrub brush. No Bueno.

2) Dollar Store spray on orange cleaner. No Bueno.

3) Plain old bleach. Had some effect, but mainly just spread the stain a little around the edges.

4) Carb Cleaner.



Above: my first test of the carb cleaner has had promising results.

Tomorrow I will continue the experiment and keep you posted.
