Removing oil stains from the concrete driveway?

[Sidney Lanier]

Recent visitors had a vehicle parked in our driveway for several days, and without realizing that they had an oil leak, it left a couple of oil stains in the driveway. I tried cleaning them with a concentrated cleaner which helped somewhat but didn't take the stains out altogether. Can anyone suggest a better way to get it cleaned up? Thanks!

It sounds strange but Coca-Cola (not Pepsi) will frequently do the trick. In my old house, I used Oxyclean, scrubbed with that and it got some of it. Coke did the rest. Pour it on, let it sit for about 30 minutes, scrub away.

Many thanks, Red!

Cat Litter - grind it in with your shoe


Anyone know how to remove tire dressing white stains - my son washed the car about five years ago in the driveway and the tire dressing dripped onto the concrete and stained it white.
