oil stains on concrete?
Apr. 28th, 2009 09:18 amSo while I was dealing with Lap Boy the other day, my girls came in from playing in the yard and wanted to take a bath. It was only around 4:30 but I generally approve the times my kids choose of their own free will to wash themselves, so I said of course. Well, once they were out and we were ready to leave to pick up DH, I opened the front door and found out WHY they were so eager to wash. They had taken canola oil and bubble liquid, mixed them, and poured it all over the concrete porch "so they could slide."
*Head in hands.*
I coated it with liquid laundry soap and sprayed for a long time with the hose, and it isn't slippery any more. But now the porch is two tones, and there are permanent footprint stains all over it. And it's a rental porch, so eventually we're going to come up responsible.
Any ideas on removing cooking oil from concrete? Or do you think I should take the rest of the oil, pain the whole porch so it matches, and scrub with laundry detergent again?
