cleaning oil off patio blockwork

Post by islandboy »

Can anyone recommend a good propriotory cleaner for removing oil stains from patio blockwork. I did a google search and loads came up with very mixed reviews. I also have a spillage that went on the pavement which is tarmac based.

Any help appreciated

The last time i had an oil spill on my flags i cleared it with Gunk degreaser, left it to soak in and scrubbed off with hot soapy water. Only problem was it brought the flags up too clean so i had to spray the rest with Algon so they all matched.
