Oil-Garage Floor

[Gary Boyer]

My Mother stayed with me for four months and her car leaked oil onto the
cement floor, is this beyond any cleaner applications, I have tried a
degreaser and a smaller psi power washer, it did help but not
much....thanks...Gary

It looks like you are posting from Columbus. Here in Cincinnati, there is a
radio program on Saturday mornings (it is syndicated on Clear Channel, so
you may get it) with host Garry Sullivan. He highly recommends a product
called "Fade." I believe it is available here at Hader Hardware.
http://www.haderhardware.com/ You might look for it in Columbus. If you
can't find it or need more information, you could call the program or Hader
Hardware in Cincinnati. If you can't get the program on a local station,
you can listen online at www.55krc.com and call in.

Use a layer of clay kitty litter over the spot and grind it into the
floor wearing old shoes. Allow the crushed kitty litter to remain
there for several days then sweep up. Washing with Dawn dishwashing
liquid will help break up more of the remaining grease. My garage
floor is slightly-stained, although I know it is clean. I save a
large sheet of corrugated cardboard just for changing oil, spray
painting, leaking engines, etc.

A product called "Lestol" or "Lestrol" at hardware stores also is good.
Just leave it on for an hour or so and scrub clean and dry.
