Default How to remove oil stains from flagging?

Left the bikes at my parents house while I was away, one of them has leaked all over their new flagging.
Anyone know what I need to use to remove the stain/oil.

Strong detergent and a very powerful pressure washer.

Second part of that depends what the flags made of.

If its concrete done up to look like stone you can strip the outer coating off if you use too much power

Detergent is the best chance, lots of it and scrub them.
