Cleaning cooking oil off of concrete patio

[Doonbuggy]

The 13lb turkey for the Vikes game sure was good, but now I have some cooking oil that spilled on the cement patio.

A couple of areas are covered, about the width of a basketball.

Any advice on how to best remove the stains? Thanks in advance.

Pressure Washer. It should do the trick if you have one, if not some Simple Green and a scrub brush will probably do the trick as well.

Take care,

Any slow witted dog should take care of it.

You might try some automotive brake parts cleaner. It comes in a areosol can.

say der very funny (about the slow witted dog)

I bought some stuff for concrete cleaning at Fleet Farm a couple years back for the same reason..Poured the stuff on and let it set awhile.. scrub good and blasted her with a pressure washer (which was not needed) and presto clean There are various products out that clean concrete..

All the above are on target. I've also found Dawn dishwash scrubbed in and left to sit then spayed off will get most of the stain out - works on gunk in the garage as well.

Might be a little less impact than some of the other solutions, though may not be as efficent.

Gotta love those fried turkeys!

Dan,

I caught our dog licking old dropplets of bbq sauce off the concrete by the grill. Didn't seem to phase her that the concrete is so rough but I stopped her anyway.

Spray it down with Greesed Lightning and give the area a quick scrub then hose it off.

Simple Green or Kafko Oil Eater, if you can find it

some bleach, comet and alittle of 409 and watch out the fumes are toxic.
