Re: Anyone know how to clean oil from your driveway?

Ok try this.

I used baby powder when we spilled cooking oil all over our pavers. I kept applying it and rubbing it in, over a few days. The stains finally disappeared.

Also there is a product home depot sells for this, it is like kitty litter (but not). THat did not work for us, though, but maybe it could work for you.

Re: Anyone know how to clean oil from your driveway?

the kitty litter (or special oil spill material that looks like kitty litter) will only remove the oil that is sitting on top of the asphalt. b/c asphalt is somewhat porous, some oil will seep in.

this sounds like it might work to remove the stain

Right, that is why for me, the baby powder worked as I would smush it into the stain. And apply a new coat everyday which kept absorbing the oil. Give it a try.

Kev,
I use laundry detergent and bleach with a stiff bristle broom then let it sit for a few minutes and rinse. If you want to use my power washer that will clean it also. Let me know...Chat Icon

Buy some kitty litter - my father would use this all the time when he spilled gasoline/oil when filling the lawn mower/snow blower.

Once it was all soaked up, he would scoop it all up and throw it away.
