What do yall use to get grease stains off of concrete?

[JoeyKazez]

I got grease stains on my driveway and i need them off, whats the most effective way of doing it?

I use this stuff called Purple Power. You can get it from an auto-parts store. I think NAPA sells it and also Advance Autoparts. Pretty much any type of degreaser will work. Purple Power is strong though.

Or you could use cat litter... Thats what us QT people use....

or get a GOOD pressure washer, put on a good tip on it and just blast the top layer of concrete off :)

poor bleach on it let it sit then hose it off... pressure wash it off for perfect shine.:)

hmm does bleach really work or is that going to leave a big white mark instead of an oil stain? im gonna buy some purple power.

Kitty litter/oil dry will not prevent stains in any shape or form unless it's used within seconds to minutes after the spill or is on extremely well sealed concrete...in which the sealant is preventing the stain, not the kitty litter.

Purple Power or Simple Green should break it down enough then use high pressure to rinse. If you're really serious about it i'd get a pot of boiling water and pour on after soaking it in a degreaser...then the highest pressure rinse you can do. :2cents:

well i bought some "zex" high power degreaser, it said don't use on concrete and I didnt listen, now I have a giant silverish purple mark instead of my original oil stains. I guess i should have listened.

I guess i should have listened.Harsh degreasers like that will eat through any sealant on the concrete too. High pressure washer, preferably steam, will clean it all off.

I use purple power for everything. outside.

Grease in my clothes or on my skin... dishwashing detergent. I know it sounds crazy, but it works REALLY well. I put dishwashing detergent instead of clothes detergent in the washing machine and all the stains are gone. :D And yes, there's a bottle of palmolive in my bathroom. *sigh*
