Neat and fast trick for removing oil stains from concrete

wow... What a great idea ! A torch, open container of gas, and fumes. I bet that works great every time.

How this guy performed this was somewhat unsafe, but I know the professionals here at RCIA would take the necessary precautions to do it safely. Might be a quick $25.--$50. upsale in the right market. What about drive-thru's???

Has anybody tried it yet on brick pavers? I always use OSR a few days before hitting it with degreaser and hot water. I know this is a roof cleaning forum, but I'm sure most of us have to deal with oil stains.

I just tried it on brick pavers and it worked great. I may have to hit it again, but barely. The stains came right up like in the video.

Has anyone tried it with diesel? (no fumes,explosions etc) I have one of those Weed Burner attachments for a propane tank. Kind of supersizes it for large areas.

I got a call from a sign company. Their truck spilled hydraulic fluid on grey pavers. It wasnt a big spot so I tried it. It seemed to be working at first, but it was leaving behind a hazy brown/yellowish stain. In this particular case it didnt work.

Didn't work for me either. It actually popped/cracked off pieces and turned it brown.

BT200 from eatsoils out of Canada. Apply, allow to 'eat' the oil and it will disappear. I had a large oil stain in my driveway, put this on and in the morning I went to take a picture of the spot and honestly I could not find any residue to mark where it had been.

We have been using it for garage floor cleanups. Customers love the service, the waste goes down the drain and actually continues to digest everything so the drain actually works better when we are done. Same day instant differences and when we check back in a day or so, the floors are so clean you could eat off them.

Fantastic product for getting spider webs and bug waste etc to release prior to cleaning house surfaces.
