    5 Rapid-Fire Ways to Pull Oil from Asphalt

     If you are serious about securing more customer conversions, spruce up your curb appeal with Steamatic’s pavement and car park cleaning services. If you have only fresh stains to worry about, you might consider the following 5 home remedies for oil-slicked asphalt.

    • Soap and water spot treatment. Emulsify with liquid soap and water to keep fresh oil from drying.
    • Kitty litter. Mop up excess oil, then cover the stain in kitty litter to absorb oil overnight. Follow proper bio-hazardous material disposal when throwing away the oil-soaked kitty litter.
    • Baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda liberally onto a fresh oil stain and scrub with a stiff brush. After leaving it for an hour, rinse away with a hose.
    • Cola. Wipe up excess oil, and dump a few cans of Cola onto the stain. Let this sit overnight , then clean the area with a cotton cloth. This economical method produces mixed results, and as usual works best on fresh stains.
    • Laundry detergent. Sprinkle powdered detergent onto your fresh stain, add water, and brush. Let this sit for 30 minutes then wipe clean.

    These oil stain remedies are only effective when dealing with fresh oil stains. Time is a factor for these home remedies, and if too much time has passed since the initial spill occurred, you will need to contact professional help. Steamatic are standing by 24/7 to tackle stubborn oil stains, so call now!

    Just a short note to say thank you for your good work at my favorite place in the world. It was much appreciated. Your staff were courteous and helpful at every turn. I have passed my remarks to the insurance company. Being out of my house for 3 months was very frustrating for me at the time and being 85 years old we seniors are not as flexible as we once were. Thanks to all involved.
