If you're looking for a simple, do-it-yourself way to remove oil stains (grease, hydraulic fluid, food grease, and other oil-based materials) from asphalt, concrete, or brick, you may want to consider trying the Ultra-Oil Stain Remover.

Application:

1. Scrape off buildup and sweep area.

2. Apply product to stain (one 32 oz. bottle covers approxmiately 6-7 square feet), extending one inch beyond perimeter.

3. Allow time for product to dry (5-8 hours or longer, depending on temperature, humidity, and ventilation).

4. Sweep up area. if stain remains, reapply product and scrub with a stiff-bristled brush.

*If the area to be treated is uncovered or exposed to the elements, it'd be best to postpone application of the product if there is a chance of rain.

The earlier you respond to oil stains, the more effective the Ultra-Oil Stain Remover will be. However, if the oil stain is left untreated, the molecular structure of the oil will change, rendering the product less effective. 

For a more proactive approach to preventing oil stains, you may want to consider sealcoating your asphalt.
