Clean power steering fluid off concrete?

Rmk392 · 12-17-2013, 08:14 PM

Was working on another car and got a lot of power steering fluid on my concrete driveway. Looks like it stained and looks like similar to oil stains. I googled and tried every degreaser type solution at my house. Nothing. Anybody have any ways they know for a fact works? I don't own a power washer either.

How big is the stain?

This is supposed to be the shit.

As a side note, avoid traditional 'masonry cleaners' most of them have acid in them and will etch your concrete, very high powered pressure washers will do the same. You need to pull the oil out of the stone, not just scrub the surface.

Brake cleaner works like a charm.

thanks guys..I did try brake cleaner but didn't seem to really do anything. Will give it another shot. It has been in the low 30's here so not sure if that has anything to do with the chemicals not working right and removing the stain
