Concrete Oil Stain Removal

[Muddyboots]

So after Kubota axle seal took dump in pole, got huge area of oil stain. Used the usual sweep up oil dry. Looking at this:

Amazon product ASIN B00HSZF622
Cleans up over time even deep stains so they claim. Anybody try this?

Timely post. I just spilled a bunch of used motor oil from my Dodge Cummings. I gotta get this up or face marital discord. I'd be interested in what others have used.

I like the claims made for Terminator-HSD Eco Friendly. If it works as advertised it should be terrific.

Dawn dish soap poured on the spot then covered in floor-dry/cat litter. few hours sweep up floor dry and hose off concrete.

I use brake cleaner and blue paper towels or you can use solvent and then put oil absorbent on it the kind that looks like kitty litter.

Almost free :

Lay old newspapers all over the spill ,
Wet newspapers with water and leave there until dry .
Repeat process a few times
What do you have to loose?

Remind me...what are newspapers?

Thanks! I like the simplicity.

Tide powder worked well but have not seen it in years. Dawn dish soap works well. ZEP purple cleaner works very good and they sell it at Home Depot. Working in a transmission shop for over 40 years I have seen a couple oil spots. Before cleaning the oil spot we use the dirt that we chip off of the bottom of oil field trucks to soak up the worst.

So what is the process?

It was suggested to use Oxyclean powder but before I attack this, hoping to use something that has known success. Plus inside pole barn so trying to keep slop down.

TSP OR trisodium phosphate. Dampen spot then sprinkle on top of stain. Let sit a few days then wash off. Use it around my grill for my clumsy fats spills.

I've used concrete motor mix(just the powder) and that soaks up and whitens things well
