What You Will Need<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To eliminate grease and oil spots on asphalt surfaces, you\nwill need some specific products. When working with chemicals or cleaners, is\nrecommended to add in the cost of protective gear, such as goggles and gloves,\nto your overall project budget. Without safety gear, you pose a high risk of\ninjury to your eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Below is a list of what you will\nneed to get the job done right, the first time around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26d6 Liquid Detergent
\u26d6 Clean Water
\u26d6 Hard-Bristled Scrubbing Brush or Broom
\u26d6 Safety Goggles
\u26d6 Work Gloves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a fresh oil or grease stain, all you will need to do is\ncreate a cleaning solution of standard liquid detergent and clean water. Use\nthis solution to soak and then scrub the stain out of the surface of the\npavement, using even, circular motions. Finish by thoroughly rinsing the\nsurface with fresh, clean water. Keep in mind, you will likely need to repeat\nthe process a few times to get optimal results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing Old Oil Stains<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If your pavement oil stains have seeped deep into the\nasphalt, you will need a more intensive treatment method. That is because oil\nseepage overtime will dissolve the asphalt binder within, thus causing portions\nof aggregate to breakdown and loosen. As a result, the surface of the asphalt\nwill show crumbling, cracking, potholes, or a large depression. If this\nhappens, you need professional asphalt pavement resurfacing services, including\na sealcoat finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
