Concrete Stain Remover

Ok. This stuff set on garage shelf for 1.5 years until last weekend. I needed something to remove dump truck oil stains, tried a couple of concrete cleaners that failed, then pulled this out. VERY IMPRESSIVE! I covered the major stains with much less than the recommended amount of product, and checked back the next day. Stain was gone!! The white powder/residue is difficult to remove, have to get a stiff broom and lots of water. But it worked like a charm. I'm a happy camper :)

Ok...Im a skeptic. I had a very large oil spot in my drive that needed cleaning up. I had hoped that this would just lessen the appearance but had anticipated that it might not work at all. I was literally shocked that it eliminated the spot ALL TOGETHER! The oil spot I was treated had multiple layers from leaky oil gaskets in my car that sat & layered on top.of old oil spots. I used it on several other spots & worked the same. The spot I used it on was about 3 x 3 & required the entire bottle. I used a broom to brush off the powder then hosed down the area. I would HIGHLY recommend wearing a dust mask / glasses when brooming off the dried powder. It is very fine dust-like when brooming & irritated my airway when I inhaled it. On a windy day, it will also carry the fine dust particles away so I'd close windows & keep away from kids & pets. Otherwise & if you protect yourself, I could not be more pleased with how well it removed the stain!

I’m not mad. Quite frankly, I think this could really work. Context my oil stain is beyond saving. I have been leaking oil in a large spot for about five years. I wanted to do a last ditch effort on trying to clean it. Before seal coating it. It does leave a white residue which comes right off. You can see this stuff working. If you give it the time that it really needs to do its job I could find this very effective. I ended up purchasing two bottles. I poured the first one on the entire spot the whole bottle. I let it sit for two days. It dried on the edges and you can literally see it, pulling the oil up and trying to do something with it, but there were so much that it had nothing left to itself to convert it. I purchased the second bottle and applied about a quarter of it to where there was significant oil. It then converted some of that in the white edge got larger once I saw that was no longer converting. I poured some more on and so on and so forth. I definitely would have needed multiple bottles maybe five and I don’t think my spot would have completely come up. I do think this significantly significantly improved the look of my horrible oil ruined driveway. I wore a glove for safety and spread it with my hand. It does say do not get it on your skin. It doesn’t smell bad or good. You shouldn’t smell chemicals though. Application was extremely simple consistency is very liquidy and then literally dries nothing more than a shop broom needed to get this up. I would say definitely wear a mask when you are sweeping this up. I don’t think it’s very safe to breathe in, definitely put me into a coughing fit. See below for Before And After pictures. I did switch over to another powdered brand that hardens the driveway I don’t have a ton of time to continue with this, but I do think it could work on your oil stain. You really need to see the Before and the after given that the after pitcher is wet, but it has significant improvement. I would say the hotter it is the better let this sit for days! Keep an eye on it, revisit it put the work in.

I had a motor oil stain on my paver drive way that came from a bag that leaked where I disposes oil filter. This stain was stubborn and nothing got it off I tried power washing, dish soap, good off , nothing. Over night oil eater worked very well the chalky residue is even less noticeable in person than this picture. A few things you NEED to know that not all of this was listed on the bottle : You need no rain for the following 24 hours (I think the bottle says this) . What the bottle doesn't say , is you need temperatures to preferably be 60 degrees or better for it to dry properly and you need to apply it over night. This happened to me in March in the northeast, I had to leave stain for a few weeks until we finally had a night where the temps stay 60+. You also need to do this overnight because all day sun is bad for it. I asked the company this because I was thinking can I set it during the day when we had 70 degrees days but cold nights and they said it went work it's best. Also, you NEED to let it dry fully and become a full dry chalk like substance. I wound up letting this sit 24 hours, slI applied it at night, but the following morning some spots were still gel like , so I let it sit all day , since most of it was dry and I fogured the sun couldn't hurt it while it was drying. After it dries, scrub it off with a god brush. There will be a big chalk residue that outlines the stain. I left that alone and let it sit further. The company told me don't immediately use water to wash off the chalk. I let it stay a few days then j sprayed it all off with water. This is how the stain looks now. There is some slight chalk outline left but the company states it will fade over time. And I have to say in person it looks even less noticeable than in this picture. The bottle also says for severe stains multiple applications might be necessary so I might do it again. So the keg take aways because I know this product got mixed reviews - you need to use it in ideal temps and make sure it dries fully .

Treated an oil stain on a concrete floor which had set for almost 10 months. Followed directions as specified. With one treatment all that was left was a slight shadow of the stain.

Thinking about what I would want to know, and in anticipation of writing a review, I took the “before” picture and you can see the results in the “after” picture for comparison. The larger picture is to give an idea of how the stain looks from a distance. This particular stain has been on my driveway for about eight months and it took three applications to get these results. As you can see the stain was decreased, but not removed, and a better result might be achieved if the product was applied sooner. As you can see, there is a slight discoloration in the concrete itself around the stain from where I applied the product. It’s not that visible due to the color of my driveway, but the darker the original surface the more the white stain would be visible. I do have another stain on my driveway, which I plan to use this product on, but I would not buy this product again in the future based on this experience.

You only need to apply a thin coat. It removes really old stains too. The only problem is it is so good that you end up with a very clean spot and need to treat more and more LOL. I was able to remove oil stains from the previous owner of the house I bought years ago. Great stuff.

New Review: Tried again, I let it set & sit for 3 days, easily brushed it off into the wind on a warm windy day. Looks great. Happy customer. Pro-Tip: I lightly scrubbed it into the oil spot, let it set & extract oil for 3 days, then brushed it all away. Old review: I have very light grey colored concrete. Followed the directions exactly and only got minimum results. Brushed off then washed the residue, but now have white residue all over my driveway even after washing & scrubbing. I can only guess, but perhaps I should have left it on the stain for 2 or 3 days instead of the recommended 12hrs which I did.

I followed the directions and it did not remove the oil stain.
