Can somebody tell me how to get car oil or grease stains off the drive way and the garage please?

We use dry laundry soap in the lube pit at the shop I run. Wet the area down sprinkle the soap over the area then work it in with a broom and wash away the oil and grease. Works like a charmCan somebody tell me how to get car oil or grease stains off the drive way and the garage please?
I always like to use typical MINERAL SPIRITS on oil/grease stains first, it breaks them-up. Then I get good OIL-DRY, name brand only oil-dry, and I thoroughly cover the area. Watch out for rain, it will turn the oil-dry into a brick cake. Let it sit for around half a day to a day. You could end up with a cleaner spot than the rest of the drive way/garage floor. Mineral spirits and oil-dry works realy good, you'll be surprised.





You know what else is cool, most of the time you don't even have to scrub the area with the mineral spirits because it cuts so good, and the oil-dry will be good to reuse again and agian, as long as it doesn't turn dark and wet looking. You can get both of those things at the HOME DEPOT or a MENARDS nearby. Would it be worth the $20 you will have to invest ?Can somebody tell me how to get car oil or grease stains off the drive way and the garage please?
Concrete Degrease you can buy a big gallon bottle of the stuff at wal-mart for $8. Pour on spot let it sit for a minute and then rinse. Easy as pie even my mom uses the stuff after I mess her driveway up.
Use cat litter. It's cheaper but really the same thing as commercially sold floor dry. After the cat litter soaks up all the grease and oil, Dawn dish liquid and a pressure washer really help with the stains.
