Dear Maintenance men



How do I get oil or grease stains out of a concrete parking area?

-Greased Off in Edmonton

Dear Greased Off:

Go to your local grocery store and pick up the cheapest brand of cat litter you can find. Spread the cat litter over the oil stained concrete and grind it in with your shoes. Leave the litter in place for a minimum of an hour or best for 24 hours. Then sweep up the cat litter and the stain should be gone. Cat litter is an absorbent that helps draw out the oil or grease. If you have a large area to clean, you may want to go to a hardware store and purchase 50 pound bags of Absorbent. The cost is a little bit more than a regular sized bag of cat litter at the supermarket.
