    Exclamation OIL ON DRIVEWAY!!! HELP!!!

    Whats the best way to get an oil stain off a driveway?? I had a mishap while i was changing my oil and basically all of it spilled on the driveway. I don't have any kitty litter so i threw some flour on there and got it up, but theres still a stain. I tried purple power, but that didn't do any good. So does anyone have any suggestions.

    If i can't get it off, then i guess i'll have to get it pressure washed. Anyone wanna make some cash???

    muriatic acid... but be super careful because it's some nasty shit. it's highly corrosive and emits corrosive gases when it's doing it's work. wear eye/skin/respiratory protection because if you catch a whiff of that shit it'll burn your sinuses and eyes like nothing you've ever felt before and if you splash it on your skin you'll also get burns.

    but it'll take the stain completely out and i think they sell it at hardware stores last i checked.

    read this for more info about the use and safe handling of muriatic acid.

    Mine always disappear on their own. I suppose pressure washing it would speed it up.

    u can get the acid at home depot in the concrete section. that is about the best for removing it also there are some paint removers in the paint department that work it will take more than one attempt to make it go away. if u want to repave it call me i can do it.
