Removing oil stains from concrete

Hmmm. So I got a few drips onto concrete. Tried to soak up as best I could....but stains still there.
Any thoughts on oil stains removal from concrete?

Thanks

Ps. If I get equally careless and splash some differential oil on my concrete, is the cleaning method the same?

Domestos household bleach is as good as anything.
Followed by a scrubbing brush and hot water.

Not sure about concrete, but don't imagine it's much different, but by Farther reports did a good job on his block paved driveway.

Brake cleaner is also a good tip. Gets oil our of pretty much anything. Do a test on an inconspicuous part first though! Also Cat litter in a big spill. Sucks it right on up.

Household Caustic Soda and a stiff brush, works a treat, will make your drive cleaner than the clean bits!
(its what the commercial oil removal products contain. Buy it in a hardware shop in granules and mix it yourself, or sprinkle over the stain and add a bit of water)

Wear gloves and glasses.

You need a detergent to remove the oil/grease .

A neighbour once used Petrol and a box of matches.
There was a loud whompf noise and him running away in terror.

He solved the oil marks, but had other stains on his person Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
