Bluey has leaked oil on the drive here where im renting, and i didn't see it the other day, and came back today and its stained. I've tried srubbing with heavy duty degreeser, hand cleaner, soap suds, everything,,,, just wont come off. Its clean oil, just made a stain, and I know the landlords are going to hit me up for it if i can't get it off :cry:

I really need to get it off fast, has any1 got any ideas??? Please any1? Would bleach work???

It just wont budge!!! :(

For bare concrete tip on some old battery acid, leave for 10 mins then hose and broom it off.

OMG, i couldn't beleive it!!!

Bloody landloards turned up this afeo, just outta the blue, to sign a new lease to one of the housemates moving in. She didn't even tell me they were coming, i just saw them drive in, and was like shhhhiii*** *goes and hides in the darkest corner he can find* lol

I was so worried they would notice it as they hoped in the car, as they parked right next to it, but thankfully they didn't as it had earlier rained here, and the driveway was still slightly wet, which hid the stains to the naked eye. But they are back on friday morning, so I have to get it off before then!!! arhhhhhh

The best thing I have found is...

It dissolves the oil and you then wipe it with a clean rag before it dries.
