How do I get rid ofoil stains on block pavers

macabethiel · 20-04-2014, 09:14

I have some six month old oil stains on my block pavers can anyone recommend a product that will remove them ?

I have heard that there are some slow working but effective enzyme based products on the market.

Bio washing powder helps, it breaks down the oils.

I used truck wash on our drive, with a broom, brought it up mint, but anything strong should do the trick, weaker stuff will need to soak in.
