Removing Oil Stains from Concrete Garage Floor

Last Updated: September 8, 2023 by Joan Clark

How to remove oil stains from concrete garage floor? We moved to a new home we renovated over the past few months. Unfortunately, the contractors leaked motor oil from their truck. I want to remove this mess ASAP.

Grease removal questions are more common today than you may realize. The easiest way how to remove oil stains from a concrete garage floor is to use a pressure washer with a commercial degreaser and hot water. But even lacking this tool, you still have options. Just take a look at this article, and you’ll see what I mean: https://www.tipsbulletin.com/how-to-remove-oil-stains-from-concrete/

For example, the first solution for how to remove grease stains from concrete uses hot water, powdered laundry detergent, and a scrub brush. It’s also handy to have a garden hose for rinsing at the end. Once you blot up any extra oil on the surface with paper towels or old rags, wet the concrete around the stain.

Mix the powdered soap with the hot water in a bucket until it dissolves. Pour the mixture on the stain and then put more dry powder on top. After that, scrub thoroughly with the brush. Don’t be afraid to use a bit of pressure.

Sometimes, completely removing oil stains from garage flooring requires you to let the detergent work for a while to lift up the stain. Let the detergent sit for several hours if you can. Check to see if the stain has lifted. Once the grease is gone, rinse well with the hose and a high-pressure nozzle. 

Alternatively, you can try this next recipe for cleaning a garage floor. It calls for turpentine, dish soap, and warm water, plus hydrated lime powder.

First, make a paste with the lime powder and turpentine. Next, spread that over the stain and cover it with plastic for a day. Then scrub the area with dish soap and warm water. As powerful as this homemade concrete cleaning solution is, you may need to repeat it to clean all the oil stains from a driveway or garage floor.

In conclusion, I hope these tips help you get the job done as quickly as possible.
