FedEx Leaked!!!

I know this is off topic but thought I might turn up a viable home remedy. The FedEx guy who came to my house had a hydraulic leak on my new concrete driveway. Any suggestion on gettin up the stain?

After the litter, try some simple green, full strength in a sprsy bottle, the hose it down.
Oh, if the cats are still in the litter it works better.

Laundry soap powder... mix with water to form paste, apply, scrub with stiff brush, hose.

Should do the trick.

Never used it but I hear Pour-N-Restore is made for just that.

Fine dry sawdust works pretty good for soaking up the bulk of the oil then use any type of citrus based cleaner to soak area and hose off.

Well, I covered the area with dishwashing liquid and let it sit for the day. Hosed it off and am good to go. Thanks for the responses.

I still think you should use FedEx Complaint Department detergent

Ask for their new "your frickin driver spilled hydraulic fluid in my driveway and now i have a huge stain to clean up what are you gonna do about it????" additive

I think your entire driveway and garage pad need to be replaced as soon as possible, possibly even a new garage. I'd be happy to testify.

its too late for that Albuq . . . by this time, the hydraulic fluid has not only stained the driveway permanently but it has seeped through all the way to the foundation of the house and compromised the structure of the entire house . . . the whole thing needs to be replaced . . . pad, foundation and house
