Originally posted by Texas Grown View PostTied laundry detergent, the granular type. Let it soak up the oil (a day or three). Then hose down the drive. I sometimes just put a light thin layer. Then wait for a good rain to wash it away. For bigger spills, put plenty down to soak it up and contain it. When done, shovel off the biggest portion after absorbing. Then hose down the rest. If a spot remains, it will go away after a couple of good rains. The Tied will penetrate the oil in the porous concrete. The rise to the surface come the first good rain. Water is heavier than oil.
Been using Tied for about 42 years now. It used to be a pretty popular topic that every mechanic and machinist knew when I was a very young man. Heck, some of the full service gas stations and shops I worked at when I was young used it in their bays and shops. Don't really understand why more older people don't remember this? Maybe "oil sorb" aka kitty litter, made folks forget?

Take a propane torch and burn it out. Not joking the best way to get oil stain out of concrete driveway. All the detergents and stuff with hot pressure washers don’t get it all out unless spill is real fresh. Be careful if there is pigment added to the concrete cause it can fade a little.
