How to Get Rid of Oil Stains from Your Driveway
Tired of the greasy stains covering your driveway? Follow these simple steps to clean them up using materials which are easily available in your home.
● Absorb as much oil as you can using paper towels.
● Spray brake cleaner, WD-40 or any commercial stain remover on the stain and completely saturate the area. Wait for five minutes and wipe it up using a rag. WD-40 would not damage your driveway so you can use it without any concerns. If you wish for another cleaner, look for something biodegradable to avoid killing your plants or lawn. Also, you can use a kitty litter to absorb the stains.
● Dribble some grease removing dish soap on any remnants of the stain. Pour some hot water and scrub the area using a nylon or wire brush.
● Finally, rinse the entire area using boiling water.
● Repeat these steps according to your requirements.

Scrub and Sweep
Make your driveway free of any grass, weeds or other vegetation growing through cracks in the concrete or between slabs. Simply pluck them out and sweep them away. Using a leaf blower is best suited for clearing debris and dirt. Following this, clean any other stains that are present on the surface of the driveway using soapy hot water. Once you are done, simply wash off the driveway using a hose or a bucket.
