    oil on paved HELP

    Dh moved in motorbike over our square pavers and somehow got oil on them.

    How do I remove it?

    I've looked through the stain solutions thread but it's a paver so I'm worried about losing colour.
    HELP please ladies I need to fix it today sometime

    DH has had some success with the Orange Power degreaser. It's from the supermarket. We always have it in the house, so I'd run it down to you if I were closer!

    cover it with some kitty litter over night and then give it a scrub with a broom an then degreaser, might have to do it a couple of times

    They are sort of orange,

    Do you think the kitty litter will work or is that best for concrete? They are concrete but colored IYKWIM?

    Thanks ladies

    I don't want to go nuts scrubbing either, but it needs to come off.... damn hubby (DH)

    Most concrete pavers have the colour put in at setting (but not all), so it should be right. Can you do a patch test?
