I have spilt ep90 on the drive about 2 ltr what is the best thing to clean it up and get rid of the smell. I have tryed a paraffin gun and jet wash which has got rid of some of it but i am left with a big black stain and the smell.
 Getting a bit of ear ache please help.

Try to work in some Fairy Liquid with a brush.

The most stinkyist stuff ever, and it hangs around for ages.  :?

Two years ago this week, I was just about to drive from South Devon to Aberdeen, and moments before I got in the car, a hub cap blew off a 110 and sprayed EP90 down my trouser leg.

Not pleasant, I can tell you - it smells, it stings (but not on your driveway of course).

2 years on there is still an oil stain on the trousers, so no idea how to get it out, sorry :x

Plenty of detergent is the only thing I know of.

Try working some GUNK into it with a stiff brush and leave for about 10 mins (don't let it dry thought!!) then wash it down with a hose. You can re-do it if necessary and pressure wash it.  :wink:

I'm lucky I have a gravel drive and just moved some gravel on top of the stain. Could smell it in the hot weather though!

I've used Fairy liquid and petrol and a hard bristled brush before now. Make sure you don't want the brush again though. My mother did :oops:  :cry:

Spare a thought for the guy on the off road course at Peterborough a couple of years ago who split 5 litres of it in the back on the way round the course!!!

Am I the only sad person who actually quite likes the smell of EP90 then? :shock:

Cheap coke is another thing that you could try on the drive.   Have had some limited success with brushing it in and letting it work.

Swarfega do a heavy duty surface cleaner & degreaser that we supply to trade customers in the area for getting grease and oil stains out of concrete, they also do a Patio & Driveway cleaner that is quite good on oil stains, can be used with a pressure washer for best results.
Comma used to do a product called Concrete Clean that was very good but it is now obsolete.

have a look here.

EEK!

Fair enough, in this age of tolerance you should be allowed that little deviancy - the only proviso is: not on my drive, where there is now a lot of EP90

Loadsa fairy liquid and a stiff brush and then intriguingly a lot of ingrained dirt to bind with and an outbreak of pressure washer seemed to cure it last time.

The only way to clean up EP90 off a driveway is to pour Coca Cola over it as it contains phosphoric acid and it just literally eats it up. Only use the real thing though as cheap imitations do not work as effectively.  :)

If the coke doesn't work, try De-Solv-It (Focus DIY sell it)-amazing stuff, gets engine oil out of clothes and it seems will get most stuff off or out of most things!!

Get the pre wash spray and empty that onto the drive .

I did all my oils 2 weeks ago and got loads of the smelly stuff on the ground and the door cards inside the car vanish pre wash spray was all the wife had in the cupboard that I could spray at the door cards and it did such a good job I bought 2 bottles and did all the plastics and vinyl in the car it looks brand new :shock: I also used the stain remover in the carpets with some sucess
