Hello Joe,
I use a method similar to Joel except substituting less flammable mineral
spirits, paint thinner or kerosene. It helps to scrub the solvent into the
concrete with a brush. Oil dry or cat litter then draws the oil/solvent
mix out. This can be repeated a few times for bad stains. Finish cleaning
with TSP and/or a degreasing detergent.
