Oil stains

[mr_lash]

Does anyone know of any product that would help me get rid of the oil stains my chim has left on the driveway? (block paving by the way...)

If the oil has permeated the block, it'll be a right bugger to get out.

With partial success, and in an environmentally unfriendy manner, I managed to draw much of my sump contents out of the driveway with a good soaking in petrol. I then scrubbed it down with a strong dilution of dish wash detergent. Factor in some time with the effects of rain, sunlight etc and it'll fade. Try some of those patio cleaners; they have a mild caustic ingredient which also works to some degree.

Go carefully with some cleaners...they might adversely affect the colouring of the blocks.

I have found that a liberal application of swarfega (sp?) has worked previously!
