Best way to clean oil from Street
Did this yesterday :
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d1...psb2de7300.jpg Axle stand through the sump while changing the cylinder head :( Stupid mistake. Always remove the oil first Now my drive cleans without issue , i used baking flour the soak up the the oil and then started scrapping it off. But the issue i have is after got all the wet stuff dry and scooped it and bin'd it , i then jet washed my drive way. Its tiled so comes of easy but then it all flows down the road and misses the drain :chair: Outside of drive looks a mess .... whats the best way to clean it before the neighbors start to give me evil looks? |
Dry sand to mop most up, collect and get rid.
Then buy some oil soaking up stuff. Or http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Oil-Off-a-Driveway Good luck. |
They sprinkle cement on spillages at race tracks (I find brushing it in a bit helps). It lifts it out of the tarmac and then soon washes away.

Marine cleaner is pretty powerful stuff.

They say white wine will clean red wine off a carpet, with that logic try Brake fluid :clap2::laugh:
As said sand or cement dust to try and soak the worst off, then a heavy duty degreaser, also coke is a pretty good cleaner used to use that when working in a pub to clean blood off the pavement :axe: |
Nice pub.:medieval:

I've always used cement dust, brush in well. However I haven't dropped that amount of oil before! Good luck!

Cat litter too is good for initial grab. Try washing up liquid for the remnants.
|
I've used cat litter for small spills - i.e. the puddle left by GV51
At work we use cement powder - 25kg will cost about £4 from a builders merchant (like the one I work in) If it is a thin film you could use detergent, couple of cheap bottles from your local cheap supermarket/pound shop. Legally of course you must ensure not a drop reaches the drains! |
