Best way remove motor oil from pavement blocks?

-=Alex=- · 11-07-2014, 10:42

Hello guys,

I had new looking pavement blocks just few months ago, but due to leaking crankshaft oil seal and few other things now it looks like sh1t. Large spill over 1m2.
I tried various things including:
Pressure washer
Swarfega Oil & Grease Remover from Screwfix
Hard plastic brush
Wire brush on angle grinder
Brake cleaner
High pressure air with washing liquids
Steam cleaner

All that kind of helps, but i think it simply spreads oil around and it becomes one large black spot rather than 100 small...
I read somewhere that glycerin is a good thing to try, but I have none left.
What can you suggest?

Cheers,
Alex
