Removing oil stains

[hornett22]

i'd soak it with oil dri or cat litter.then spray non chlorinated brake cleaner on it and hose it off.

Krud Kutter works well as does simple green.

One time my bucket truck blew a line while working in a cemetary... We had a really angry family when they discovered the oil on the headstone. I called the guy who sells the stones and he said don't worry about it. before you know it you wont be able to tell. he was right, wasnt too long and it all faded away... got really lucky on that one. it was a big stone...

Headstones are normally marble or some other type of non porous stone. Paver blocks are a bit different, very porous and sponge like.

I realized flipping them over is not an option as the top sides of the paver blocks have beveled edges, whereas the bottoms do not.

Have you tried the TSP yet? It reallly works!

Not yet Norm, Im giving the oil dri a few days to work. Will be back over there tomorrow afternoon to check on progress. If none we'll give the TSP a try.

Get some BioBuzz 100% biodegradable bar oil. Next time the newbie forgets to tighten the oil cap and oil spills all over the flagstone ($$$), just pour water on it and walk away. No second trip to the site, no replacing expensive stone, concrete, pavers, grass, whatever. No polluting the lake that collects water from the hill on which the trees are planted, nothing but awesome customer relations. The BioBuzz becomes less expensive when you weigh these factors...
