Removing Chain lube

**ZorsT** · 29th August 2005, 17:23

while applying chain lube to my bike, some went on dads stained and stamped concrete driveway...

how do I clean it up?
I tried using washing powder and a scrubbing brush but it stayed stuck...

Kerosene? - I swear by it.

Brake Clean - sorts everything, even carpet stains

Although it did not get rid of the oil stains on the driveway. However it got rid of the rubber marks

Tried dishwasher powder & water? Has worked for me in the past when I have spilt oil on concrete.

Engine degreaser makes it water soluble. Scrape as much as you can off first then use a stiff brush to work it in and hose off with water. Kero dilutes it and you could end up with a bigger stain. Whatever you use is going to leave a mark.

Yup, get the WareWhare de-greaser, it's thu schizz and is water-based so hoses off afterwards.
