Oil stains on your driveway can be stubborn and unsightly, but with the right methods, you can remove them effectively. Here’s how.

Act Fast

The sooner you tackle an oil stain, the easier it is to remove. Fresh spills should be blotted with paper towels or an absorbent material like cat litter.

Use a Degreaser or Detergent

Apply a driveway cleaner, degreaser, or dish soap directly to the stain. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to break down the oil.

Scrub with a Stiff Brush

Use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the stain in circular motions.

Rinse with a Pressure Washer

A pressure washer helps lift the oil and remove deep stains. Use hot water for better results.

Repeat if Necessary

For stubborn stains, repeat the process or use a specialist oil remover.

Prevent Future Oil Stains

Use a driveway sealant to prevent absorption.

Place drip trays under vehicles with leaks.

Clean spills immediately.
