I wish I had this guy in school. What a great teacher. You explained the process excellent.

This is by far the best advice for this issue I've found. I reckon I'll replace the blocks though sounds like it may be the fastest and most effective way. Oil stain is large over a meter square.

Fantastic presentation!!! Well done. Thanks for the scientific explanation.

Well Done!!! Excellent layout of presentation. Wish I had a teacher like you growing up! Thanks

BEST video on removing oil stains on yt!

I find that laundry detergent works better than dish soap (Dawn or other). Spray the driveway down and then sprinkle dry laundry detergent over the stains ... mist the detergent now and then so it has a chance to stay wet for at least 20 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Skip the Dawn soap.

Thanks for the great tips.

fantastic systematic exploration of the problem!...*much thanks.*

Thanks Travis, I did steps 1 and 3. I used your poultice recipe on my patio pavers. It removed the oil after 2 treatments. I skipped step 2 not wanting the acid stain.

Excellent explanation Travis. Thank you. Do you know how to pull stains from very old terracotta tiles? Is it the same sort of method you mentioned? The tiles are indoor tiles but they are slightly stained. This is in the common areas of a building. Cheers.

Nice helpful and well presented video. Does this also work for Tarmac?

Thanks for sharing Travis!

For real though. I have one of the nicest houses in my neighborhood. I do all the landscaping, exterior cleaning, and upkeep myself (because I enjoy it). A friend’s car leaked oil on my driveway. The HOA Nazi (next door neighbor) of our 400 home neighborhood has no life, no job, and just sits at home peering out her window, looking for things to report. I’m being fined $10/day until I can get it out. Hopefully this works!

@Chase Postell I also find that after cleaning this way, even though a lighter stain may remain, that the sun will bleach it out and it'll disappear ... never would've guessed that an oil stain would bleach out like that, but it does once it's been cleaned with a degreaser - At lease in our southern Idaho hot sun :)

Thanks for the great video, gotta try it. My driveway has been oil for quite some time now.You said you have the recipe for poultice, but I can't find it. Could you help me please. Richard

White spirit/turpentine poured on the oil scrub it in then take a heat gun and dry the ground I did this on block paving the results were good

Since this video was created there is a new category of product: Bio-Cleaners (activated bacteria). These microbes eat the oil and it takes weeks for the stain to be completely removed.

Bio-cleaners are expensive and minimally effective on anything larger than drips and drops. Only use them if you like repeated applications with minimal improvement.

Cola is actually a base, if I'm not mistaken. That's why you can use it to neutralize a lead acid battery spill (although baking soda is preferred). In any case, thanks for the video!

Hey Scott, thanks for the comment. I am not sure what you mean by coke being "base". I would love to find out though. If it was in response to me saying it is an acid, I can assure you it is acidic. It has a ph of 2.5 to 3.0 with 7.0 being considered neutral

@geraldbrown2340

Cola is not a base. It contains phosphoric acid, weak carbonic acid, and sometimes citric acid. Using cola and baking soda to clean a battery is to clean corrosion from the terminals, not battery acid.

Saturate driveway with raw gasoline, ignite with flamethrower. Easy.

Dawn dish soap a scrub brush mineral spitit and that diatomtic earth or what ever its called (pool media filter ish) works awesome i used it on a 5 month old stain.

I don't know. If you left on the concrete long enough it would penetrate so possibly. In this scenario you would rinse it off before it had a chance to do so.

Interesting Tamara, tell me what was I advertising. No I have not hit a lick, I make my money legally. The other comments in this video seem to disagree with yours, but I hope you found the information you were looking for in a format you could comprehend it in.

Do you realize that it is almost impossible to see anything you wrote on the board? I don’t know what kind of marker you were using but it didn’t work, which is a shame since it sounded as if you really knew what you were talking about.
