Oil on Your Driveway or Workshop Floor? Here’s How to Clean It the Right Way

Whether you’re a weekend DIYer or a professional mechanic, oil and grease stains can be a real eyesore—and a slip hazard. The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals to clean them effectively. EarthSmart’s Hydrocarbon Cleaner/Degreaser offers an eco-friendly solution that works just as hard as you do.

Here’s a quick guide to removing those tough stains the smart way:

Step 1: Blot Fresh Spills

Step 2: Apply Hydrocarbon Cleaner/Degreaser

Liberally spray or pour EarthSmart’s Hydrocarbon Cleaner directly onto the stain. For older stains, let it soak in for 10–20 minutes to break down the hydrocarbon compounds.

Step 3: Scrub Gently

Using a stiff-bristle brush, scrub the area to help lift the oil from the surface. On concrete, you may need to work it in a bit longer depending on stain depth.

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the area with water. If indoors or in a low-drainage area, use a wet vacuum or mop to remove residue. Repeat the process for stubborn spots.

Step 5: Let Dry and Reassess

Once dry, check for any remaining discoloration. A second round of treatment may be needed for very old or deep stains.
