Materials: Oil absorbent (cat litter or commercial oil absorbent), dish soap or degreaser, baking soda, white vinegar, poultice (for stubborn stains), commercial oil stain remover (optional).
Tools: Broom, scrub brush, bucket, hose or pressure washer, plastic sheeting (if using a poultice), rubber gloves, safety goggles.

Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles to protect your skin and eyes from cleaning agents.
Ensure good ventilation if working in an enclosed area.

If the oil spill is recent, cover it with an absorbent material like cat litter or a commercial oil absorbent. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to soak up as much oil as possible.
Sweep up the absorbent material and dispose of it properly.

Use a hose or pressure washer to rinse the stained area. This helps remove loose debris and prepares the surface for deeper cleaning.

Apply a generous amount of dish soap or degreaser directly onto the oil stain. These products help break down the oil.
Scrub the area vigorously with a stiff-bristled brush to work the cleaner into the stain. Allow it to sit for about 15-30 minutes.

Rinse the area with a hose or pressure washer to remove the soap or degreaser along with the loosened oil.

Sprinkle baking soda over the stain to cover it completely.
Pour white vinegar over the baking soda. The mixture will fizz as it works to lift the stain.
Scrub the area with a brush and let it sit for 15-30 minutes before rinsing with water.

Prepare a poultice using a commercial product or a homemade mixture of a solvent (like acetone) and an absorbent material (such as diatomaceous earth or powdered laundry detergent).
Apply the poultice to the stain and cover it with plastic sheeting to prevent it from drying too quickly.
Leave it in place for several hours or overnight. Once dry, scrape off the poultice and rinse the area thoroughly.

If the stain persists, use a commercial oil stain remover following the manufacturer’s instructions. These products are formulated to break down oil stains effectively.

Rinse the treated area thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer to remove any remaining cleaning agents and loosened oil.

Inspect the treated area for any remaining traces of the oil stain. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary.

Consider sealing your driveway with a high-quality sealer to protect it from future oil stains and other contaminants.

Regularly sweep and wash your driveway to prevent the buildup of dirt and oil residues. Address spills promptly to prevent them from becoming stubborn stains.

Place oil drip pans or absorbent mats under vehicles that tend to leak oil to prevent future stains.
