Concrete Cleaner
 
Anyone have good success with a concrete cleaner to clean up an oil spill??

Thanks Rich

Wipe the rest of the floor with oil and the stain will blend in... it will look like custom tinted concrete

:haha: Nice one! That would work!!

Actually I had some success with a hose and old broom simple green and some of that mag wheel etching cleaner for aluminum wheels. A few treatments and some scrubbing with the broom worked pretty well.

There was a recent thread on this same topic.

Power washer. That’s what I use.

It can be simply cleaned up by industrial power washer, of course, but believe me or not, a friend of mine some day was cleaning those stains just by connecting a big hose and shower head that was made for high pressures (like these: https://cozyhousetoday.com/best-high...rhead-reviews/), and by using hot water, it was vanishing up pretty nice.

That's what I did once I've left a stain on the bench near the house :)

I've used both of these on rough finished concrete (driveway). They work OK, not great, but it was an improvement.

The other product is called "Pour and Restore". At Amazon. I think Home Depot sells some products like this too.

Years ago, we would use Westley's Bleche-Wite whitewall cleaner on our shop floors once or twice a year. Be sure to have all the doors and windows open if you do it though.

Pour n Restore. This stuff worked very well for me.

Good Ol fashion Oil Dry, pair of old sneakers and do the twist on it! We use to work on cars at a friends house as kids, his Dad was a real SOB and drilled home life’s lesson on cleaning up when your done. Especially at his house. We screwed up plenty of times, twist and twist and poof! No more stain. Wash it down with dish soap and a hose when done. More often then not, you end up with a clean spot. Still use this today.... it works!

I just used Simple Green Concrete cleaner at my rental in the garage, it came out nice.
Where my mom parked her Chrysler leaking all those years, it cleaned it very well. Just scrub and hose off. No power wash.
