How to Remove Oil and Grease Stains from Stone and Concrete

Oil and grease stains are among the most stubborn and frustrating problems on stone and concrete surfaces. Because these materials are highly porous, they quickly absorb oil, creating dark, unsightly spots that are difficult to remove with regular cleaning methods.

Why Oil and Grease Stains Are So Difficult

Oil is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and seeps deep into the fine pores and capillaries of stone, concrete, and brick. Once absorbed, it forms persistent, dark stains that can spread below the surface, making simple scrubbing or surface treatments ineffective.

The Limits of DIY Methods

Using dish soap or homemade poultices might help with fresh spills, but they often fail to reach the deeply embedded oil. In some cases, aggressive scrubbing can even push the oil deeper into the material, worsening the stain.

Advanced Professional Solutions for Deep Cleaning

Logic Clean N and Logic Clean BA+ are advanced, professional-grade solutions designed specifically to tackle tough oil and grease stains.

Logic Clean N is ideal for general oil and grease issues, using a bio-based formula that chemically breaks down and emulsifies oil particles, lifting them out without harsh scrubbing.

Logic Clean BA+ is specially formulated for older, deeper, and more difficult oil and grease stains, making it the best choice for industrial or long-standing residues that standard cleaners can’t fully remove.

For older, heavy-duty, or industrial residues, Logic Clean BA+ offers even stronger performance, deeply penetrating stubborn layers and breaking down residues at the molecular level.

What sets these products apart is their ability to penetrate deep into the core of the stain and dissolve it from within, ensuring a complete and long-lasting clean. Both are eco-friendly, non-corrosive, and safe for surrounding plants and surfaces.

Step-by-Step Guide to Remove Oil and Grease Stains

  • Prepare: Sweep and dry the surface thoroughly to remove loose debris and moisture.
  • Apply: Generously spread Logic Clean N or Logic Clean BA+ over the stained area, ensuring full coverage. For old and difficult stains, use Logic Clean BA+ for the best results.
  • Dwell: Let the product work for several hours, or overnight for severe cases. Covering the area with plastic or a damp cloth can help keep it active longer.
  • Rinse: Wipe away the loosened residue and rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water.
  • Repeat if needed: For deep or very old stains, multiple applications may be necessary to achieve full results.

Preventing Future Stains

To protect cleaned surfaces and reduce maintenance, apply a breathable sealer like Logic S. It prevents oil from penetrating deeply and makes future cleaning easier. Read more about protecting stone and concrete after cleaning.

Case Example: Garage Floor Transformation

A heavily stained concrete garage floor treated with Logic Clean BA+ showed impressive results after just one application. Even deep motor oil residues were lifted out, leaving the floor bright and clean. After sealing, it remained spotless and easy to maintain.
