Automotive Oil Stains
If you have automotive grease stains on your
driveway, the best way to remove them is to use a
commercial concrete degreaser. These products are
usually sprayed or poured onto the stain, left to
sit for a few minutes, and then scrubbed gently.
Other Grease Stains
Sometimes, you might have grease stains from food
or cooking oil on your driveway. In this case, a
diluted mixture of either dish soap and water or
laundry detergent will get the job done. Apply
directly to the stain, leave to sit for a few
minutes, scrub and then rinse.

Rust Stains
Rust stains can discolor concrete driveways, but
the good news is they can usually be removed with
products you have in your kitchen. Either lemon
juice or vinegar will usually help to lift and
lighten a rust stain. Scrub the area and rinse
with water after application and repeat as
necessary until the stain is faded enough.
Dirt and Vegetation
Another common problem with concrete driveways is
an accumulation of dirt and vegetation, including
moss and algae. The best way to deal with these
kinds of stains is to scrape off all the debris
manually, and then use a power washer to blast
the remaining dirt and discoloration from your
driveway.

Consider Sealing Concrete Driveways
Once youve removed the stains from your concrete
driveway, its a good idea to consider sealing
them. This is a specially designed, very hard
wearing chemical that is applied to the surface
of the concrete to create a tough and mostly
impervious layer.
When Stains on Concrete Driveways Just Wont Budge
Unfortunately, while most stains on concrete
driveways can be removed with the right product
and a little elbow grease, thats not always the
case. Likewise, if your concrete driveway has
other problems like cracks or damage, cleaning it
might not be enough to completely transform it.
