The Science Behind Oil Stains On Concrete: Why Traditional Cleaners Fall Short

Why Traditional Cleaners and Degreasers Often Fail

Concrete is a porous material, allowing oil stains to seep deep beneath its surface. Standard cleaners and degreasers are primarily designed to address surface-level grime and may not penetrate deeply enough to extract embedded oil.

Have you ever watched water defy gravity and wick UP into a dry paper towel? That’s exactly what happens when you clean a concrete surface without removing embedded oil.  A typical degreaser might appear to do a decent job at first, but the embedded residue later wicks up to the top.   

You also need to be careful because some cleaning agents contain harsh chemicals that can damage the concrete, leave behind unsightly discoloration, or even thin out the oil driving it even deeper into the concrete.
