[GhettoPharmacist]

Notice how the camera completely avoids that stain he was trying to clean.. I wonder If It worked.

[superstarem17]

The people who give a low rating but don't say why should be ignored. This was a good clip.

[jgehbinv]

@sixgunpeter - yep, totally agree. I found this video incredibly helpful.

I can't find the accompanying guide to print out at the website. Too bad Lowe's doesn't link directly to it. It's not easy to find in their website.

There is only one product on the market that completely removes driveway stains resulting from a petroleum spill. It's called DE-OIL-IT and it turns oil into dirt. There is not to throw away and nothing to pollute the environment. DE-OIL-IT effective removes all visual traces of the stains safely and completely. DE-OIL-IT is non-toxic and totally biodegradable. To find a dealer, go to DEOILIT.com

This is actually a really good step by step video that even addresses minute problems that you run into when dealing with this situation like little problems you could possibly experience with the pressure washer and little things you could deal with when apply a sealer to your concrete.

I have found Genesis 950 works amazingly well to clean concrete. There are some garages that buy it in 5 gallon cubes and keep it on hand to clean oil and grease from their floor. I mix it with water, let it soak on the stain for a while, and then use a pushbroom to scrub it into the stain. After this, I let it sit for a few more minutes, and the I spray it clean with a hose. Worked for the initial big stains, left it on longer to get the stuff that has been there for years.

Coca-cola works great! look it up :)

people who rated thumbs down have probably been fired from lowes for stealing, or using drugs such as: crack, marijuana, lsd, mushrooms, ether, pcp, cocaine, toad, and skip skap skalliwogs.

glad a reliable source such as Lowe's is making helpful 'do it yourself' clips online, I got too mad watching the expert village clips

Don't waste time or money on pressure washing and all those tools, use Bio-Dry Concrete Cleaner! Also, pressure washing oil on concrete without a permit is a violation in many states and carries some hefty EPA fines if you're not recapturing the water and letting it flow into storm drains! Use the environmentally safe Bio-Dry waterless concrete cleaner to improve your image, save money, and keep compliant! Don't pressure wash...Bio-Dry it!

@concretecleaning

so bio dry works? and removes the oil stain off concrete completely? and after using it can I seal the drive way like in the video? and can I get this product in homedept or lowes?

[concretecleaning]

@tomagotchii

Check out the BIO-DRY product information at bio-dry.com or send us an email with your questions to info@bio-dry.com.

[jthejem]

Someone said try EXIMO. That's just chalk. Try Bio-Dry-- its patented and gets better results. bio-dry.com

needs to get something with 16,000 psi i gotta cut some steel bitches...................i dont need no panzy anzy ass crap. If ya get in my way ill spray ya in the neck with a straight streeam!

[Blankmania]

it seriously took almost 6 minutes to explain that? If someone needed to watch this video before they washed their driveway, they probably are going to end up hurting themselves... i figure 34 percent will lose an eye from looking to see if the nozzle is clean, 15 percent will use a concrete stripping tip to accidentally take the paint off their car and the remainder will be electrocuted when they powerwash around an outlet

[iceplant007]

the first thing ill do is point the washer at anyone!

[89mustangLX]

Jimmie Johnson SUCKS!!!!

[calicruisin]

Nice video Lowes!

[mzahajko]

Well made video. 1 Question... where does the oil go? I know pressure washing oil in many states is illegal.

I've used green waterless (bio-remediation) products with good results before. Not instant like pressure washing, but some really work.

eXIMO is a waterless concrete cleaner that really worked on my driveway.

[mafiainfused]

Great video. Will try when I get a pressure washer.

[averylbrooks]

These are nice little clips, I wish people wouldn't rank them as 1 star without leaving a comment as to why.

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

@averylbrooks 1 star because i didnt like your comment

[ofcoursecali]

Fun.
