You laboriously scrub the concrete floor in the garage and nothing? Oil or fuel stains are extremely difficult to remove, so it’s no wonder that you quickly lose enthusiasm. Don’t wring your hands, because we come to you with a brilliant idea, thanks to which the garage floor will be clean again.
How to Remove Oil Stains from Concrete? You’re Just a Few Steps Away from a Clean Garage Floor
For car owners, stubborn stains on the garage floor are nothing new. If you’ve ever tried to wipe them off with household cleaners, you’ve certainly failed. How to deal with greasy stains? For this purpose, use a brake fluid, which you can find in some stores for as little as PLN 10..
- If the stains are fresh, place paper towels on them. They will absorb excess liquid from the concrete surface.
- Pour brake cleaner onto the dirt, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- Using a stiff brush, rub it into the floor and leave for 5 minutes.
- After this time, wipe everything off with paper towels and there will be no trace of the stains.
ADVICE! Remember that store-bought cleaning products usually contain a lot of harmful chemicals, so before you start removing stains from concrete, take care of your own safety. Put on thick gloves and safety glasses, and for proper ventilation, open the windows or garage doors.

How to protect your garage floor? You will protect it from stains
Protecting your garage floor from stains doesn’t have to be difficult. Just consider buying mats and rugs designed to cover such surfaces. They are resistant to grease stains, and if they get worn out, they can be easily replaced. Another effective method is to cover the concrete with epoxy paint. It creates a coating, does not absorb oils or other car fluids, and is also very easy to clean.
TIP! If your car often leaks liquids, store absorbents in the garage. These can be sawdust, sand or special granules that can quickly absorb liquids. Just sprinkle them on fresh dirt, and they won’t penetrate the concrete and you can easily remove them from its surface.
