Oil stains in driveway

[~Trish~]

Bicarb is meant to be able to get it off too. It tells you on the box.

Good luck

I've used bicarb. Its sposed to absorb it. Didn't work to great, but we probably didn't do it right. Didn't put in a huge effort.
Let us know what works though

My oil stains are dry so I'm still trying to find out how to get old stains out.

I'm the same as DaniellaBella, got older stains in our garage (so its on concrete). Anyone know any ideas? We tried degreaser, it didn't really work.

well its a bit exxy but high pressure water blasting does the trick (my dad does it for a living but sorry we r in WA), depends how old it is, he says if its fresh then u shud be able to use degreaser but old stains need water blasting.

also a good idea to invest in a drip tray hun (they sell them at super cheap auto etc) to go under the car and catch the oil leaks ...they look like a big baking tray... HTH

Lol is there anything bicarb can't do?!?!

Can you just leave a car parked on top of the stain while they do the inspection? That way you don't have to panic too much if you can't get it off now, and can work on it over the next few months? We had some on our driveway, I think DF sprayed some degreaser on them and gave them a half-hearted hose and a scrub with a broom. I think they faded somewhat, but when we moved in there were oil stains there anyway so i don't think he worried about them too much! Lol
