For 12 years now, we have provided expert paver cleaning and sealing services to customers throughout southern California. In this article, we will discuss some of their proven methods for eliminating oil stains from your driveways to help increase the curb appeal.
The first step in tackling any kind of oil stain is to identify the type of oil that has caused it. Different oils require different approaches and tools when it comes to removing them. Of course, if you’re not a professional paver cleaner, you may not know what kind of oil has caused the stain. However, a reputable company like Landmark Pavers Clean and Seal will be able to identify the oil accurately and then take appropriate action.
After the oil has been identified, it is essential to use the proper materials and techniques to remove the stain from the driveway. In the case of concrete driveways, one of the most effective ways to do this is by using a degreaser. This is a special cleaning agent specifically designed to remove oil-based stains. Landmark Pavers Clean and Seal recommends using a low pH degreaser to ensure that the product does not damage the driveway’s surface. Additionally, we also suggest diluting the degreaser with water before applying it.
Once the degreaser has been applied to the affected area, it is important to allow the solution to sit for some time. This will give the product time to penetrate the stain and break it down. Depending on the severity of the stain, you may need to repeat this process multiple times until the stain is completely gone. After the saturation time is finished, use a pressure washer on a low setting to rinse away the degreaser and the stain.
At Landmark Pavers Clean and Seal, we take oil stain removal seriously and understand how frustrating it can be to have a stained driveway. That is why they use the latest methods and products to ensure that these stains are removed quickly and effectively. With their expert help, you and your driveway will be looking better in no time!
