My cousin accidentally forgot to unplug the oil container and dropped every bit of oil from his car during an oil change, on my drive way, a week before my home was going on the market. I was dying inside. We used an oil absorbing sand, tried other chemicals but the stain was still extremely noticeable. I saw this video and ran to Home Depot. Bought 5 bottles, let it sit for 12 hours and prayed. It freaking worked!!!!! It’d describe it as almost a bleach for concrete. Whatever it is, I’m sooo happy and my cousin can come back out from hiding.
aww man i can only imagine how horrible this cousin must’ve felt , what a story but glad to hear this worked i had some of the goof off in liquid state but i didn’t even know they sold them like this . thanks for confirming it actually helped .
Tried this recently and it was amazing! I could not believe how easy it was to apply and how effective it was. Completely removed the stains. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great to see this after the day ive had! I moped up nearly a quart of used diesel engine oil from the corner of my driveway and used degreaser and 1500 psi pressure cleaner. All of this took it down 50 percent but the stain is still highly visible although you could eat from it. Next step was finding the goof off concrete cleaner which is on the stain this minute. I found this youtube video and have a little more peace of mind!
@@powerofknowledge7771 I'm a little bit late to replying but no it wasnt as good as the video. My driveway stain was a strong mix of heavy duty diesel oil that has spilled onto the concrete and also had black soil mixed in. I used the concrete cleaner last after a pressure cleaner and degreaser wash. Overall it's not terrible looking now.
I’m even later to the discussion, but the guy at the auto parts store recommended liquid laundry detergent on the stain and then oil absorbent on top and then let it sit for a day. Worked like a charm. Only problem is now I have a really, really clean spot on the driveway. Trick is to let it sit as long as possible (days, not hours).
Carb spray works too. Spray it on, let it sit for a couple of minutes then wipe it off with some paper towels, repeat if the oil was puddled. No need to spray it off... it will dry in about 5 minutes.
@@motoman9944 Didn't do anything for me at all. I used a non chlorinated brake cleaner and it literally made no difference on oil spots. I did use it on maybe a coolant spot, not sure what it was, but it did remove that but it was the least of my worries lol
Good to know that this product works on concrete oil stains. There are so many contractors with oil leaking vehicles and equipment staining my driveway and street.
Wow!! I had the ugliest oil stains on driveway. Dark! Some fresh, some a little older as I’m not sure how long my sons car was leaking oil! Anyway, I used this without diluting it for two days in a row. am so happy with these results!! I don’t even notice it! It’s all because of your video!! Thank you so much!!!
After watching this video got some and tried it on my oil stain that's been in my driveway about a year. Wow, works like magic! Poured it on stain, let is set and dry overnight. Next morning removed it and it cleaned oil stain really good, almost completely gone. Wasn't able to get it all because ran out of product so going to get more and finish the job. Niice! Recommend!!
I live in apartment complex my neighbor above from me must of dropped Lard grease on the porch I tried everything to get that grease stain off. I just bought Goof Off thanks so much for this information. I just ordered it from Amazon just now I’ll let you know my success thanks
I came here to see how to take care of leak stains and chuckled when you showed the ram in the beginning because that's what I'm cleaning up after, as well. 😆
Very Nice! I'm going to have to give this a go. I have a good sized oil stain from where my 6.0 Powerstroke was leaking a good amount of oil, prior to the issue being fixed. Thanks for the video good sir!
Seems like the best results is always using the full concentrate. Maybe for very light oil stains, the diluted one could work, but if the stain is very dark, don't waste your time and just use the concentrate without diluting it.
A great tip would be to fix oil leaks on our vehicles as they leave a trail everywhere you take them secondary to that using a chemical to clean them up only increases the contamination of our groundwater just like the oil leaks on our vehicles. This is a good video to show you how to clean up a driveway when you find you have an oil leak but it is worth mentioning that we should fix our vehicles.
@@chrissuter4107 There is no green solution to rid ones self of oil stains. The issue and their causes in and of themselves is in no way green. The ultimate green solution is to walk. The next step is to fix leaked immediately upon detection. This involves daily inspection of your vehicle.
Just used it! Thank you it does work have a big bag oil spill from my car dripping oil and it really clean it spray and brush then pour some dollar store soap then brush it again it works
I've been retired for about 5 years, I've pretty much done about everything you can imagine but I was taught as a kid that you give an honest days work for an honest days pay. I just cannot get over how many people are just so damn lazy today. Seriously, some people are so lazy if someone set them on fire, they'd wait until someone else put them out. I paid the post office 12.00 for a two day delivery of a birthday card. It took 28 days to travel 800 miles. Why does a 2 day air delivery envelope sit in one location for 5 to 8 days? I applied for a homestead exemption on March 13th, on April 12th, it's still pending review. God, I hope my house doesn't catch fire, I could celebrate several birthdays before the fire truck showed up. Is it me? or does it seem like everyone is using the scamdemic as an excuse to do nothing ?
There’s no doubt, people are lazier now than they’ve ever been. That’s why companies like GrubHub are so successful. People are willing to pay $20 extra for their food just so they don’t have to drive 5 minutes to get it. Then they wonder why $30k isn’t enough money to live on. And you are absolutely right, this “pandemic” has made them even worse because they have more money in their pockets that they can use to further this laziness.
Not sure... I’m guessing there were metal particles in some of the oil that was spilled on the concrete and it rusted over time and became embedded in the concrete
It's not VERY stupid. Kind of a big deal staining up someone's driveway with a bunch of nasty oil. If it wasn't a big deal, you probably wouldn't be making a vid3o about it. But thanks for making a video about it! :)
Get a 10 pound bag of Quikcrete for $3 and work it into the stain. Use your feet or a flat piece of cinder block. Do it over and over. Sweep it up before it rains.
sadly i lived in a freakin HOA with snow white concrete driveway... tried a bunch of things to clean stain....still had faintish stain...got scrap piece of free concrete at home depot...rubbed the piece on stain, walked away. worked better than anything to hide stain, of coarse its cheating but made landlord happy... he liked that easy trick would hide future stains of all kinds...
@@DIYMAN Fine dry powder of basically the same material so it makes sense. I put a piece of carpet down when I get home to keep any drips to a minimum.
I had some oil spots in my shop concrete floor for 15 years. I got some old drywall and broke it up and smashed the gypsum in the middle by hammering it. I poured enough gasoline to make it wet, scratched the surface of the oil with an old screwdriver, and poured the gypsum powder over it. I came back the next day scooped of the gypsum, then hosed it off. Completely gone.
I enjoyed your video. A medium stiff shop broom as a scrubber would have made this job much quicker & easier, easier to spread the cleaner, and easier on your knees. I’m middle aged, and my motto is work Smarter not Harder! Still, Good results though!
Try bug and tar remover. I used it to remove gasoline spots (not oil) from my brick paver driveway after other products failed. I’m assuming that since tar is a petroleum based product, it was able to remove it. I have tried it on oil, but who knows.
Update; don’t use this method. Initially, it looked good but it actually left a worse stain. I treated the spots with a baking soda paste and it has worked well.
$10 bucks in 2020 - $25 in 2022! Thanks, Joe! **Update - I used blue Dawn dish soap - completely covering the stain and letting it sit for about 24 hours, then rinsed - that removed every trace of oil... while the Goof Off removed some of the darker spots, most of the stain remained- the Dawn completely removed it... Here's the YT video for the Dawn method: ua-cam.com/video/zVQfOV8f09c/v-deo.html
Hoping this works! Damp Rid silica spilled on my storage unit floor and it left oil dots. Spent all day trying everything from kitty litter, baking soda, to soap and water.
Thanks for this video ! I have small stains from a motor oil leak on a pristine-clean concrete surface in super-hot south Florida. Tried tons of DIY already: soft scrub, baking soda, dawn dish soap, acetone…. Nothing has really worked on the very porous surface. Do you think it’s alright for it to sit 12 hours in the hot Florida sun? Still excited to give this product and method a try!
Just my 2c, but I would suggest placing some plastic over the product and then cover with cardboard to keep it from drying out too fast in direct sunlight. Good luck.
Ready Strip rust remover is my go-to for rust stains. Works like magic, spray on, walk away, and stains are gone within 5 min. Muriatic acid although effective will etch concrete and the fumes will fk you up (not the fun kind either) if you're not careful.
@@FL.Cracker Yes, you are absolutely right...any acid type of cleaner product, you have to be very careful with it's use...I was only speaking from past experiences with these types of stains because acid works very well in removing them.
i'm a bit confused. at the 36 second mark when you are pouring the cleaner in the spray bottle it appears to be clear. yet at the 1:31 mark when you pour it straight onto the driveway it is a white paste. are you using 2 different products? it looks as if it's coming from the same container
I just tried that stuff yesterday and it didn't do jack. I had high hopes too :( I used it full strength and let it sit 24 hours. Idk what the hell Im going to do now. Side note: we had some newer stains only a couple weeks old that I used gasoline on that lightened them up. I did not use kitty litter on top but supposedly that makes a big difference.
Well that stuff did nothing to the motor oil stains on my concrete. Applied at 50:50, brushed in hard with stiff bristle brush, let sit, pressure washed. Didn’t work.
I got an HOA letter a couple of weeks ago because we have some oil stain on our driveway...now I have an idea what product we can use to stop those stupid letters...
i thought u found a good way lol. I use purple power put it in my chemical sprayer. spray it down let set bout 10 min then i use a pressure washer and comes out much better..
@@haikudragon1002 any brand works. In the video I saw it was tide but I just used some generic stuff I had. Try it out then if it does not work get this stuff in the video to get the rest out.
I can't believe it worked. Our driveway was less than a year old and was stained with fluids of all kinds from the vehicles of our friends. Instead of being 'that guy' and demanding no one else park their crap cars on nice new concrete, I just used about half a bottle of Goof Off and 40 hours to let it dry (in 35 to 50 degree temps) and sprayed it off. I can't express in words how satisfied (and surprised) I am that this stuff actually works.

I got an HOA letter a couple of weeks ago because we have some oil stain on our driveway...now I have an idea what product we can use to stop those stupid letters...
That’s crazy! This stuff is great! So glad I could help!
Is it environmentally safe
I’m not sure. Hopefully
Based on the warnings on the label, I doubt it.
But it may be fine after it dries

LP tank and a weed torch. Work smarter, not harder
Thank you
You’re welcome!
i thought u found a good way lol. I use purple power put it in my chemical sprayer. spray it down let set bout 10 min then i use a pressure washer and comes out much better..
According to Google, what you did was a "Crazy process". Apparently, Dish Soap should be enough. With that said, I have not tried it myself.
Would this work on bbq oil stains on concrete? I'm having difficulty, used detergent, baking powder and vinnegar
I’m not sure. It’s possible
Thanks for this man I been using gasoline for years which works really well but my neighbors complain of the smell lol
No problem! I had no idea that gasoline would do it.
Damn good video, thanks✌🏻
You’re welcome!
That s pretty good
Thank you!
Should I use the pressure washer
You don’t need it, but you should try it to rinse it off and let us know how it turns out
Hell yea gotta get it up in garage thnx for recommendation
No problem!
I found that washing machine detergent works well. Wont be 100% but got it 80%
@@racingclips4744 what brand?
@@haikudragon1002 any brand works. In the video I saw it was tide but I just used some generic stuff I had. Try it out then if it does not work get this stuff in the video to get the rest out.
After watching this video, I went to Home Depot and snagged their last two bottles. I'm letting it sit overnight as we speak.
Keep me posted! I’d like to hear the results! Home Depot is half the cost of buying it from Amazon
I can't believe it worked. Our driveway was less than a year old and was stained with fluids of all kinds from the vehicles of our friends. Instead of being 'that guy' and demanding no one else park their crap cars on nice new concrete, I just used about half a bottle of Goof Off and 40 hours to let it dry (in 35 to 50 degree temps) and sprayed it off. I can't express in words how satisfied (and surprised) I am that this stuff actually works.
Thanks for the feedback! It’s great to hear another success story!
do u think it will work on pavers
@@turbogt2911 did u try it on pavers? u think it will work on pavees?
I’ve tried everything, doesn’t feel like anything is working. I need mine cleaned before my next home inspection. 😞
Hope you get it
Has anyone tried brake cleaner instead of goof off? Which one worked better?
A lot of people in here are saying it works, but I’ve never tried it
Is the lawn still there now?
It was a little bit sparse to begin with but it didn’t seem to kill what was there
White vinegar removes rust stains.
Thank you! I appreciate the tip!
THNk you
You’re welcome!
