Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
Ha, I was scrubbing the tarmac outside the house yesterday with washingup liquid and a yard brush because #somebody# had dumped a load of veggie oil all over the newly tarmacked drive...don't think it's touched it really

Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
You'd be more use scraping the oil off using the debit card given it's current contents...

Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
I've used Gunk Driveway cleaner before now on stone slabs with good results. At a rented house many years ago - the landlord was not happy with the oily slab so I cleaned it, then he was grumpy as all the other slabs then looked grubby compared to the gleaming one
 .NOT SAFE FOR TARMAC it says on the tin (still got the rest of it even now).

Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
Room temperature ammonia, hot p1ss will do nicely. Direct application and wave at your neighbours if they admire your hard work.
... learnt from tv,so maybe not too reliable info

Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
if you know anyone that lives locally who is in the military see if they can get you some Trailer Wash.
Put into a spray bottle, spray on stain, let it soak in for a few hours then hose off.

Re: How to remove oil stains from flagging
All this effort, lift flag, flip flag over, put it back. Job Jobbed. If it's stone then surely it's not single sided?
