Kitty Litter and Oxy Clean!!!!





Take the kitty litter and spread it over the area let it sit for an hour, take a hard bristle brush broom and clean up the litter after it has soaked up all the wet stuff. Now, take oxyclean add it to some water and scrub it into the oil stain with a hard bristle brush scrub it in good. Let that soak for a bit then rinse it off. If that don't work then hate to say it but you're stuck with the oil as far as I know.Can anyone tell me how to get rid of car engine oil thats leaked onto a tarmac drive ?
I've known mechanics that use powder detergents. Even sprinkled on dry and left to sit obsorbs a lot of oil stains.
Drop some kitty litter on it, and press that in with the back of a shovel or your boot. Then sweep it up, and you must then dispose of it as toxic waste, per the laws or guidance of your county or municipality.
Start with kitty litter. If that doesn't do it move up to Tomato Juice. Still not gone? Then do a combination of turpentine and kitty litter, and let it set overnight before you hose it off.
pour kitty litter (clean) over the oil and allow to sit for a couple of hours...clean up the litter and scrub the area wit DAWN dish soap (it MUST be DAWN)
Yes !


make a paste of laundry soap thin mix.


paint it on - - let it soak in - - keep it damp.


do this several times. finish up with bleach.


It took months to drip there.





You may never return it to the original color.


Strike out a fancy pattern and paint it.


Cleaning up new drips will be much easier.


Use a good epoxy base paint. (2 part)





Tarmac = asphalt ??


Chisel it out (in a pattern) and replace with patch. They have many colors available today .





You can also make a pattern and replace it with concrete paver's or various other step stones, rocks, even plain gravel.
a mild solution of muratic acid (pool acid) should work
Tide laundry detergent a garden hose, %26amp; a stiff bristle push broom or brush.


Wet the area, pour Tide on it %26amp; let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub %26amp; rinse.


Repeat if the stain(s) persist.


The detergent is mild enough that it wo'nt damage the asphalt, but strong enough to remove the oil %26amp; grease.


After it's all cleaned up, you can seal coat the asphalt to make future cleanups much easier.
I guess you have removed the bulk of the oil and just the blackened stain remains.


Try de-greaser and a pressure cleaner however if it is a small job then simply try washing powder and scrubbing brush which after some time will remove most of it. You will have some now grey stain remaining though... very tough to remove. Further spot trials with petrol, soap powder (with water), scrubbing brush %26amp; pressure cleaner might help. Even some acids might get it better.


In time the sun will fade it and the slab will all soil over and it will be less noticeable.
Halfords will have a product to remove it.
clay-based kitty litter to soak up most of it - change it as it absorbs the oil, then get a cleaner from your hardware store to get out the remainder.
use one of those jet spray water things, quite close up, it may remove most of the stain but not all of it!
this is a bio hazard.. good to ask, call the local trash collectors or State department
any degreaser will work,dawn dish washing liquid,spray%26amp;wash,or shout laundry stuff.no turintine it will eat the tar.
