Oil and Grease Treatment for Concrete
Multi-step treatment for petroleum, cooking grease, hydraulic fluid, and vehicle stains.
Built for Arizona conditions
A professional process—not one-pressure-fits-all
Specialty chemistry and hot water can produce major improvement, but deeply absorbed stains may require repeat treatment and cannot always disappear completely.

What to expect
What professional oil & grease removal involves
Oil and grease treatment is different from routine pressure washing because petroleum, cooking grease, hydraulic fluid, and other contaminants can penetrate below the visible surface. Concrete porosity, stain age, repeated leakage, previous products, heat exposure, coatings, and existing damage all affect the result.
Clean Surface uses a staged approach that may include compatible chemistry, dwell time, agitation, hot water, extraction or recovery, rinsing, and repeat treatment. The exact process depends on the likely contaminant and whether the surface is bare concrete, coated, sealed, painted, paver, masonry, or another material.
The responsible promise is improvement—not automatic disappearance. Once oil has migrated into porous concrete, a remaining shadow can return or remain visible as the material dries. We explain that possibility before treatment and separate stain work from the price of standard surface cleaning.
How the project moves forward
Plan
We choose appropriate pressure, temperature, chemistry, equipment, and safeguards.
Confirm
We confirm scope and pricing before cleaning, then inspect completed work.
A defined cleaning plan
Our oil & grease removal process
Identify the likely contaminant
The customer provides the source, age, previous products, and leak status while we evaluate the material and visible spread.
Test the treatment
Compatible chemistry and method are selected with attention to coatings, adjacent finishes, runoff, and potential discoloration.
Treat in stages
Dwell time, agitation, heat, controlled rinsing, and repeat applications are used when appropriate to release absorbed material.
Set final expectations
We review the dried or developing result and explain shadows, migration, surface damage, or additional treatment that may remain.
Experienced Arizona crews
Real Clean Surface technicians, equipment, and project experience.
Protected and prepared
Licensed and insured professionals with safety-focused training.
Clear expectations
Surface, stain condition, access, and final scope are confirmed first.
What affects the estimate?
We price the actual scope instead of relying on one number that ignores condition and access.
- Type, age, depth, and size of stain
- Bare concrete, pavers, coatings, or other material
- Previous cleaners, absorbents, sealers, or repairs
- Residential versus commercial containment needs
- Number of treatment cycles and total affected area
Built for local conditions
Why Arizona experience matters
Arizona heat can accelerate fluid spreading and make stains appear darker against sun-exposed concrete. Automotive leaks, cooking grease, hydraulic fluid, and irrigation minerals should not be treated as one problem; identifying the source improves both the treatment plan and the estimate.
Build My EstimateQuestions about oil & grease removal
Can old oil stains be completely removed?
Sometimes substantial improvement is possible, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Oil may remain below the surface or reappear as the concrete dries.
Is oil treatment included with regular driveway cleaning?
No, unless it is specifically selected and shown in the estimate. Routine surface cleaning and absorbed-stain treatment require different time, products, and expectations.
Should the vehicle leak be repaired first?
Yes. Ongoing leakage can immediately re-contaminate the area and makes it difficult to judge the cleaning result.
