Driveway and garage floor oil stain removal process
Conventional cleaning methods are not able to deliver a satisfactory result. The porous nature of many concrete and stone driveways mean that a soaking and hot-water and alkaline detergent process is required.
To properly clean a driveway, we apply a detergent foam. Once this has soaked in and broken down the stains, we blast the area with 3600 psi of hot water using the Whirlaway cleaning attachment to minimise mess.
Don’t risk DIY pressure cleaning on your driveway or garage floor. The Kleenit crew are oil stain removal specialists operating across Australia, providing oil stain removal from concrete, brickwork and garage floors.
Commercial Oil Stain Removal
Concrete driveways and floors can present a challenge for grease removal, especially if they were not originally sealed correctly.
Pavers and concrete substrates are porous and easily draw the oil down into them, making it very difficult to remove using conventional cleaning methods.
Kleenit has the experience, the equipment, and the chemical understanding required even if you have no idea how to remove oil stains from pavers. We’re also able to prevent further staining with floor coating options for garages and driveways.
Some stains will have chemically-bonded within the stone causing permanent staining. In cases where pressure cleaning alone will not suffice, Kleenit specialists can offer driveway painting and sealing to refresh your look.
