Oil Eater Original 1 Gallon Cleaner, Degreaser - Dissolve Grease Oil and Heavy-Duty Stains – Professional Strength

If you have old oil stains on your old concrete that has likely not been resealed properly, and youexpect this to make your concrete look like new, that’s ridiculous. However, if you were looking to remove the vast majority of old oil stains, this product is great. I used it full strength and let it sit on the stains for three hours. After a little scrubbing with a floor brush and thoroughly rinsing, it did a great job. I especially like that it is safe to rinse off onto black top and into the grass as long the grass is pre-wetted and it is thoroughly rinsed off the black top and into the grass. Just to be on the safe side I did pool together the vast majority of what did not dry on the concret and soaked it up with kitty litter. A floor scrub brush with a squeegee on one side made the job easy. I purchased one on Amazon that was only $10.

I use this for parts cleaning because it is water soluble. I have also used this as an engine degreaser. With the price that they want for a can of engine degreaser. I decided why not try this. At the price for this I decided to just spray it on fully concentrated. Just spraying it on with a spray bottle removes grime. I spray everything really good and give it a few minutes to sit. Then I spray it off with full pressure of the hose. I usually spray it all down again with Oil Eater and do it again. I was kind of low on this product the other day that I diluted it 1:1 to clean everything under my front wheel well. I am redoing all the bushings and ball joints on my truck. After removing everything, I decided to spray everything down and clean it so there wasn't dirt and grime falling on me when I put it back together. Even with it diluted 1:1 it worked great. The next day I was looking at it, and everything was actually clean enough to paint everything in that area. So, I painted everything, and it seems to have stuck very well. I opened up the box of my new bottle of Oil Eater and it says it is now 3x more concentrated than before. I am sure that you could dilute it a lot more and still get a good clean. At around $20 a gallon, I have no problem spraying it at full concentration. I don't scrub anything. Just spray it on and hose it off. It also works great to clean the underneath of your vehicle if you need to work on it. You would be amazed at how clean it makes it just doing that. It makes working under your vehicle easier. Without having all the oil and road grime caked with dirt falling in your face. It will not completely clean everything off under your vehicle just by spraying it on and rinsing it off, but it makes a huge difference. I get my engine just as clean doing this method as the spendy can of engine degreaser gets it.

So why only 4 stars? The packaging is confusing... the product is a concentrate, so in most cases needs to be diluted. The one gallon purchase has minimal instructions for dilution ratios per reason for use. The 32 oz spray bottle has instructions and even a little chart to make it clear. But... the spray bottle comes full (well, hopefully! :), so in order to use it, you need to pour some out and then add water to get the correct ratio. Or pour some into a different spray bottle and mix it there.Now, the 32 oz. spray bottle costs about the same as the full gallon without a spray bottle. But since you need a different spray bottle (or at least a different container) to use the spray bottle, it makes way more sense (and cents!) to buy the gallon and find a spray bottle to mix it in. I did that, and I took a screen shot of the instructions on the single spray bottle product's instructions and used that to make a label for my spray solution, marking the ratio mix I used on the chart on my label.Oh, and the product... using a 3:1 Water:OE mix, with very little effort I've cleaned many carpet stains which have been attempted numerous times before with no success. And about 7 months ago, while cleaning the print head on an ink jet printer, the saturated cleaning paper dripped ink on my beige carpet. Sadly the print head cleaning solution I was using only smeared that, making the spot larger and more noticeable. Using the same 3:1 mix, Oil Eater removed the ink from the carpet with just a few minutes of scrubbing with a wet sponge. And for the skeptics out there, yes there is still carpet where the stain once was! :-) This product is amazing!

This stuff is great for almost anything. Grease, coolant, ATF, brake fluid, takes care of all of it. you can even water it down if you need, for smaller, less oily cleanups. Works on most of our stains within 5-10min, that have been around for years. Nothing else comes close to this. Used it to clean tools from tree resin, great.

Works great, sprayed on backside of very dirty rims and scrubbed with a pad. The results were impressive. Best cleaner I've used for removing gunk.

It did not work for me. I have driveway pavers bricks.

This stuff works great on stains. You can see the dirt just wash away as soon as it’s sprayed. Very little scrubbing once applied and then hit it with the pressure washer your concrete will look as good as new. Worth the purchase

Great, best cleaner I have found!
