Try Cement powder.

Failing that, there are many proprietary cleaners available from DIY stores.

Yes. I noted your objection, but it wasn't clear what should be done about it.

I think I'm missing something here.
Are we required to search before posting in "general"?

my point was that the same person asked the same question yesterday, to which i also replied, so there was no point in asking the same question again. (least not by the same person there isn't)

perhaps the poster of the question doesn't realise that if you see a pale blue word or words like this by clicking on it, it takes you somewhere else (depending on where ever who created the post wants you to go to)

oil stain removal
Reply with quote Thanks

I had a similar problem on my block pavia driveway, tried 3 bottles of GUNK from halfords, improved it but by NO means removed the stain, don't waste your money on that stuff.

Cured mine by removing the affected blocka and replacing with new.

Try waiting for nearly SIX YEARS and you'll find that it'll hardly be noticeable. icon_smile.gif

Just use OIL GONE EASY HOME & DRIVEWAY S-200 without a second thought. I had used it for cleaning up the oil leak from my car engine. Be it concrete or asphalt, this oil stain remover will do the trick. You can learn more about this product at oilgoneeasy.com
