oil on tarmac

[olddutch]

Ive got oil on my outdoor parking space which has a tarmac floor - can anyone please tell me what is the best way to clean the oil from the tarmac ? thanks !

washing powder i.e. the stuff you wash your clothes with............pour it over the affected area and allow it to well soak in, overnight if you can.... then remove the soaked in granules, before scrubbing the residue off with hot water.

some fairy liquid and a stiff broom with lots of water or some people say coca cola scrubbed into the oil and washed away works a treat. x

Gunk or Jeyes cleaning fluid both do a good job, just make sure you leave it long enough to soak in ( 20min) then wash down with hose.both will give good results.
