If you have ever had an oil stain on your asphalt driveway or parking lot, you know just how much these eyesores can detract from the beauty of your home or office. You do not want to send the wrong first impression to your guests/clients, so it is very important to address these issues when they first arise.

This article from eHow.com provides a step-by-step breakdown of the stain removal process. With just a little know-how and some elbow grease, you can be stain free in no time.

How to remove that unsightly stain:

1.   Cover the entire oil stain with a large amount of kitty litter.

2.   Allow the kitty litter to remain on the oil stain overnight.

3.   Sweep the kitty litter with a broom. Use a dustpan to collect the used kitty litter and place it into a trash bag.

4.   Pour 4 cups of baking soda onto the oil-stained concrete.

5.   Add a small amount of water from a garden hose. Use just enough water to form a thick paste.

6.   Use a stiff-bristle scrub brush to scrub the paste into the stained concrete.

7.   Allow the paste to remain on the stained concrete overnight.

8.   Add a small amount of water to the paste from a garden hose. Use just enough water to moisten the dried baking soda paste.

9.   Use the stiff-bristle scrub brush to scrub the paste into the stained area.

10. Rinse away the remains of the paste with water from the garden hose.

11. Repeat the process if needed if the oil stain remains after the concrete has dried.
