Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

Oil eater takes some time to actually eat the stuff. I found it best as a solvent for cleaning engines or other mucked up bits. On the ground it does not really act swiftly.It will consume and loosen grease/oil. Then, dish soap does that as well. I used metal bristle brush to loosen the

Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

Another idea for concrete cleaning is to get one of the rotating nozzles for the pressure washer. It is like the concentrated pin point spray nozzle but rotates so that you get better coverage. Works well for paint removal etc so might also help with oil on concrete. RB Down where Dan lives

Did you try engine cleaner on a test area? Sams club has the one Gmann suggested for around $50 per 5 gallon pail, and if you pick it up at the store, there's no freight charge according to their website. I've gotten some large spots of black oil off by soaking with engine cleaner, blasting it

www.oileater.com Best product I've ever found. Totally biodegradable, no harmful effects to plants or animals and it emulsifies oil. Pour it on, spread it over the stain.. let it set, wash it off.. I use it to remove engine grime from Detroit Diesel engines.. and they come out spanking clean.

Before we sold the house in Houston, I cleaned the driveway where the TD had sat and dripped black oil, not a lot but there was enough to make the driveway unsightly. I went at it with various cleaning stuff, wire brush on the spots, and a fairly high-pressure power washer, and it ended up

Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

TSP is probably the best bet, but won’t likely get all of it out since it’s most likely soaked into the pores of the concrete. Muriatic acid won’t do much but etch the surface - the stain will still be there, and you’ll be handling some mildly nasty stuff as well. Here are a couple of

What's the best thing to use to get grease and oil stains off a garage floor? I poured a gallon of straight simple green on it and let it sit a while then power washed it and it barely did anything. Think maybe I need to get some sort of acid or something more heavy duty. Sent from my iPhone

Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

Acetone initially, working it in with a wire brush and then soaking up the oil with paper towels. I think acid might also work well. I've heard that putting concrete powder on it and letting that soak it up over a day or two can also get it out. If you immediately soak up a spill with kitty

Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

Brushing it in with a brush or broom will help too. May be better the mop the whole floor with used Diesel motor oil, let it soak a week or 4, then sweep it off with floor dry. Then you can sell it as an expensive black stained concrete floor. Put a sealer over it if you want it to shine
