Garage floor stain removal Anonymous Sat Mar 4 20:47:15 2023 No.2574417 [Reply] [Original]

How do you get rid of oil and auto fluid stains on a cement garage floor? I've tried multiple commercial products from Jew Depot and Harbor Chink but nothing has worked well.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 21:01:04 2023 No.2574428 >>2574417 Lye, 99%, preferably scale, put just enough water to dissolve everything then pour on the stain, let it sit and it should be gone next time it rains, or use HCl, but don't let it sit too long because it messes up concrete.

I used pic related on my driveway and it worked best out of anything I tried, only one that made much of a difference. But I left it on for a couple days, and it’s going to take a couple coats if it’s bad.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 22:43:40 2023 No.2574512 >>2574417 Get a box of TSP, make up a paste, and apply it to the stains. Give them a scrub, keeping it paste like, then let it sit a day or so. It should rinse (or sweep) up and the stain will be greatly reduced if not gone.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 5 20:32:40 2023 No.2575023 >>2574417 Use kitty litter and a brick the same color as the concrete. Scatter litter till oil is absorbed, sweep around a bit, scrub with the brick. Be amazed

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 5 20:39:06 2023 No.2575029 >>2574417 Get some powdered drywall compound an pack the powder down and it will absorb the oil. Repeat as necessary. Scrape/chip it off when it hardens (is’s slightly water soluable anyway, it will eventually go away) Don’t use portland cement.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 6 05:00:53 2023 No.2575320 >>2574417 Leave it. It is a garage floor, you lunatic.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 6 18:55:37 2023 No.2575528 >>2575338 I spilled a lot of ATF on my road and the concrete of my garage and it's not come off in months. Going to try driveway cleaner and power washer when it gets warm enough. I would not use ATF to clean concrete or asphalt.
