Caustic powder . Purple Power , maybe Simple Green. Caustic Powder is some hot shiz dont know if it's aval. on the west end for general public use.
most automotive machine shops use it in their hot tanks.
When I was building engines for Douglass Engine Builders we used it for cleaning the floors too. If it'll bust the grease off of a concrete shop floor surely it would work on a mud stain or two.
C.T. :wink:

Do it twice, that should get 100% J/K. Maybe some concrete cleaning product and a heavy nylon brush. I used something by Swab ?, it was a yellow powder, and it worked good. There maybe some better stuff out there.

What I like to do is wet the area, pour some laundy detergent on it, and then use the dogs back to scrub it out.
Usually takes care of the problem, and any future ones. :rollside:

Home Depot with have an acid wash just for concrete. Use that with min 2200psi presure washer and it should work.

I heard you can scrub it out with Coke.... :idea:
Coca~Cola, that is....

If it is only a few spots, sprinkle some oil dry on it and scrub it in with a wood block. Then just sweep it away. Oil spots are just as easy. Works great.

Pour a little muriatic acid on the spots you want to clean. Let it soak for a min or two then rinse with plenty of water! And for those of you hwo it's bad for the environment blah blah blah. what do you think they clean the concrete around your swimming pool with??? btw its a few dollars for a quart at any hardware store.

Try some household bleach. If it's not grease, and it's not dirt, it is likely a stain from mold/mildew or the like. Usually, a 4 to 1 water to bleach mix works well. This also works on fencing, decks and anything else discolored from organic growth. I would test a small spot to see if it is working and go from there. Just give it a little time once it is wet to kill what is causing the discoloration and wash away. It is really cheap, and the results can be suprising.

Get an old truck that leaks a quart of oil a week. You won't notice the dog tracking problem. :messedup: :messedup: :messedup:
