Sometimes it's needed to prepare a surface for painting, or just to improve the appearance. One of the most common stains is oil on floors or driveways. If you remove the oil quickly, there won't be much danger of staining. You should soak the oil up immediately with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. Avoid wiping, as it spreads the stain and drives it into the concrete. Cover the spot with a dry, powdered, absorbent, inert material such as portland cement and leave it for one day. Repeat this procedure until no more oil is absorbed. If this doesn't work, you'll have to use Plan "B". Scrub the stained area with a strong soap, scouring powder, or triso- dium phosphate. Then make a poultice with a solution of one part trisodium phosphate in six parts water. Apply this to the stain and allow it to dry. Remove the dried paste and scrub the surface with clear water. Voila! No more stain.
