Nobody buys a house for his entrance. But there is no denying that an attractive driveway adds extra appeal. If you are stained with oil stains or solvents, do not worry. You can correct that.

Listen to BOB VILA ON STAINS DRIVEWAY or read below:
Spill as soon as possible, with cat litter or sawdust .
The next step depends on whether you use your input material. If it is asphalt, spray a biodegradable oven cleaner onto the polluted area, wait about half an hour and then rinse the cleaner with a hose.
However, if your entry path is concrete, you must remove the dye liquor with a powder that absorbs moisture. For small spots you can use cornstarch.
For larger quantities, try kieselguhr, which forms a clean, thick paste when mixed with liquid trisodium phosphate. Spread a layer of dough over the stain and rub in with a nylon bristle brush. Then add another thin layer, let the dough dry completely before scratching with a spatula. Finally, rinse the driveway with a hose or washer. Remember, if it is an old stain, you may need to repeat the previous process several times!
Hey, it's not always nice to be beautiful.
