Removing Oil Stains from white concrete

[mowerman804]

I have a oil stain own my personal driveway. I don't do any power washing, just LCO. But I have a 2600psi 2.5gpm washer I bought to cleanup my equipment a few years ago. Will this get the job done or do I need a commercial unit? Also what type chemicals should I use?

Thanks

I bought a 3300 PSI unit for my equipment and to get some oil leaks from my cummins off the driveway. I can tell you right now that 2600 PSI won't be enough unless you've got hot water. I mixed everything to get that crap off the driveway... It's better but still pretty noticeable. Start with some concrete degreaser and whatever else you can find.I eventually started going through all the chemicals and used everything from Dawn dishwashing soap to brushing some bleach around with a broom and then pressure washing again... I might be the idiot that doesn't know the trick to this stuff but that's my experience with oil leaks. - Sam

Use a good degreaser, let it dwell, and then pressure wash with a commercial grade hot water unit.
