erynthered Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 You can crush some cat litter or baking soda into the spot with your foot and let it sit until it soaks up most of it. Then come with a stiff brush and some dawn dish soap and scrub the rest away. Another thought is to use a concentrated cleaner called KrudKutter which is found at home depot or in the cleaning aisle at Wal-Mart. Spray it on, allow to sit about 15 minutes, then spray with a high pressure sprayer or hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Or... Sakrete Concrete & Asphalt cleaner removes or lightens oil and grease stains on Asphalt & Concrete surfaces might look into getting the driveway sealcoated , usually done after your driveway lost its jet black color,has stains,cracks..etc..prolongs the life of your driveway..

John from Riverside Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 You could get the stuff from Ace or Home Depot that soaks it up or.... Possibly paint over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the fire doesn't burn it off the next earthquake will swallow it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray it with brake cleaner and then wipe with a rag a few times. Repeat that a few times and that should get 95% of it. Brake Cleaner in an aerosol can at your local auto parts store.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Try some "Whisk" detergent and let it soak on the stain for a while then use a scrub brush and rinse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
