They obviously don't mix well. I had some get on my driveway (which of course is some what pourous). Any suggestions on how to get it off? Could I burn it off?

George is right on. Clean as best as you can then get a bag of stay dry at the auto parts store, its just chrushed bricks and very cheap. Cover the spot and leave it. Over time it will remove all traces of the oil. G

What works best and is cheap is a little safety- kleen or mineral spirits ,scrubbed with a brush , covered with floor dry and go away for a day or two , if needed repeat . It will leave the floor looking like new. Been doing it for 35 years .

Using a heated pressure washer works well, as does simple green with hot water. If it's really caked up then I've soaked it in simple green solution then used a floor buffer with a stripping pad to remove the gunk. A wide floor squeegee works well for getting rid of the wet loose stuff.

After it's all good and clean, go to Sherwin Williams or Lowes and get some H&C Clear 23 concrete sealer. A couple coats of that and oil will never soak into your drive way again.

Louis lye or even some draino with water will remove oil stains from concrete.

amway concrete cleaner... or a degreaser like simple green/purple stuff/greased lightning will work.. scrub and let set.

Using cement (powder) to absorb it will often work and will lessen the stain. Apply and leave overnight or longer. One fellow I know always went one step further and used a brick on it as a scouring pad. Expect you would get some concrete damage by doing that.

My concrete drive was spotless for about a year. Someone drove in with an old car and dripped black oil as they drove up the drive and made a puddle where they stopped. I have come to the conclusion after 18 years that I have two choices if I want to keep my drive look the same all over.

1. coat all the drive with black used motor oil.

2. apply the Ucoatit which I can not afford.

Don't try burning it off,it'll make the concrete pop and then you'll have more trouble.Try Dawn dishwashing soap,I've used it before with varying degrees of success.Sometimes it doesn't take it right of,but I think the dawn stays for awhile and after a couple rains it'll be better.I know they used it to clean up tanker spill in Cincinnatti a few years back.

I have used muriatic acid to remove some real nasty oil stains from driveways.It can purchased at pool supply stores,hardware stores, etc. You just follow the dilusion directions on the bottle, mix it in a 5 gallon bucket, put on some thick dishwashing gloves, and apply with a big carwash sponge. you have to let it sit awhile, then rinse off with plenty of fresh water. you may have to repeat several times, but ive always had good results with this method. By the way alot of pool guys use this to clean cement around pools to remove stains. good luck
