Why Pour-N-Restore Beats Power Washing for Oil Stains

When oil drips onto your driveway or garage floor, the first instinct is often to grab a power washer. The high-pressure spray seems like it should blast the stain away, but anyone who has tried it knows that oil doesn’t disappear so easily. Instead, the dark marks often remain, leaving you frustrated after all that work.

Oil is different from dirt or mud because it seeps into porous surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. A power washer only cleans the surface layer, meaning the oil trapped below still rises back to the top, making the stain reappear. In some cases, power washing even spreads the stain further, forcing oil deeper into cracks and pores where it becomes even harder to remove.

Pour-N-Restore takes a smarter approach. Rather than using force, it uses science. The liquid formula penetrates deep into the pores of concrete and other materials, drawing the oil up and out. As it dries into a powder, it lifts away the residue completely, so when you sweep it up, the stain goes with it. This method doesn’t just hide oil temporarily; it actually removes it from the surface.

The difference is easy to see. After power washing, stains often look lighter but never fully go away. With Pour-N-Restore, you’re left with a clean, natural finish and no leftover discoloration. It saves water, energy, and time while giving you lasting results. For homeowners who want to keep their driveways, garages, and patios looking their best, it’s the clear choice over power washing.
