Default Cleaning oil off concrete.

My dads ****ed off about the amount of oil stains on the garage floor.

Also there's some oil in the carpet.

How do I clean these out?

if your dad is getting upset about stains on the floor... get a old peice of carpet or a drip tray and put it under the car when u park it.

my old boss was the same lol. i chucked a flattened box under the car i had at the time to shut him up about it.( all was wrong was the sump leaked in the bluebird i had.. fixed it tho)

Why don't you fix the oil leaks first, illavitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My EL fairmont hasn't dropped a spot of oil on the driveway for nearly 3 years now.

So it is possible to have an e-series falcon that doesn't drop oil spots, whether from engine sump, transmission etc.....

When all else fails try some cloudy ammonia. Smells like ... well you dont really want to know :P Dont inhale it ..... you will pass out :P

Just put some straight on a sponge in a ventalated area and dab it out of the carpet .... DO NOT RUB IT IN ..... dab it out ;)

Can use this for the cement floor as well .... just pour it on straight, give the floor a scrub with a stiff broom after a few minutes of soaking & then hose off ..... warm water works best to start with (hot if you can).

Cheap as chips & works a treat. I only pay about $1.50 a bottle depending on the shop ... in the city would be cheaper Im sure ;)

Another hint ........ Slap your mate ... LOL
