Steps

  1. Take a handful or two of an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon mitigation agent (preferable) or a powdered laundry detergent and sprinkle it all over the stain.
  2. Pour a bit of water on the stain as well. This will allow a medium for the oil to dissolve into.
  3. Let it sit overnight or for at least 12 hours unless using a hydrocarbon mitigation agent, which works immediately.
  4. Rinse with water.
  5. Revel in a clean garage floor!
  6. Get some kitty litter. It works as good as the oil dry the service stations use. Put some on the floor and rub it in with your foot. Don't worry about wiping it up. The kitty litter will absorb it. Once the worst is up sweep it up and repeat once more. When you are done let it sit a while then sweep it up. You will hardly be able to see where it was. This also works with old dried up oil stains.

Tips

  • If you own a pressure washer, apply a hydrocarbon mitigation agent then use a hard bristle brush and rinse with the pressure washer. remember, when possible, HOT water always works best (up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit.)

Things You'll Need

  • 8 ounces of a hydrocarbon mitigation agent (environmentally friendly) or
  • Laundry detergent (powder)
  • Water
