Concentrated Oil and Grease Remover

This Stontex oil spot remover tackles stubborn oil and grease stains on porous outdoor and indoor surfaces. The concentrated formula breaks down petroleum-based products including difficult hydraulic oil. Irish driveways, workshop floors and garage surfaces all benefit from this targeted cleaning solution.

Oil stains penetrate porous materials like concrete and natural stone. Surface cleaning alone cannot remove deep contamination. This remover penetrates the material structure, breaking down oil at depth rather than just cleaning the surface.

The 500ml bottle provides concentrated cleaning power. Use the product neat without dilution for maximum effectiveness. The concentrated nature means one bottle treats multiple stains or larger affected areas.

Suitable Surfaces

Stone Surfaces: Natural stone driveways, patios and pathways accumulate oil from vehicles. The remover works on sandstone, granite, limestone and slate without damaging the stone structure. Test on inconspicuous areas first to verify compatibility.

Concrete: Garage floors, workshop areas and concrete driveways commonly show oil staining. The porous concrete structure allows deep oil penetration. This remover reaches contamination within the concrete matrix.

Tiles: Outdoor paving tiles and indoor workshop tiles both respond to treatment. The product works on ceramic, porcelain and concrete tiles. Avoid using on polished surfaces where the concentrated formula might affect finishes.

Application Method

Apply the remover directly onto oil stains without diluting. The concentrated formula provides optimal cleaning power when used neat. Pour or spray sufficient product to saturate the entire stained area completely.

Agitate the applied product using a stiff nylon brush. The brushing action works the remover into the porous surface structure. This mechanical agitation combined with chemical action provides superior results compared to application alone.

Allow the product to dwell on the stain for 5-10 minutes. This contact time lets the formula break down the oil molecules. Don’t allow the product to dry on the surface during the dwell period. Reapply if the surface begins drying.

Rinse thoroughly using a pressure washer. The high-pressure water removes loosened oil along with the cleaning product. For indoor applications, use a steam cleaner to provide cleaning power without excessive water volume.

Treating Different Stain Types

Fresh oil stains respond quickly to treatment. Recent spills haven’t fully penetrated surface depths. Single applications often achieve complete removal of new contamination.

Aged oil stains require more intensive treatment. Oil that has resided in surfaces for months or years penetrates deeply. Multiple applications might be necessary for complete removal. Allow surfaces to dry between applications to assess remaining staining.

Hydraulic oil creates particularly stubborn stains. The formulation specifically targets this challenging contamination type. The specialised chemistry breaks down hydraulic fluid more effectively than general-purpose cleaners.

Coverage Expectations

Coverage varies significantly based on stain severity and penetration depth. Small, fresh drips might require only 10-20ml per stain. Large, aged stains or deeply penetrated areas consume more product.

For extensive contamination across large areas, pre-clean with Stontex All-in-One Outdoor Cleaner for exterior surfaces or Heavy Duty Grime Remover for interior spaces. Then use the oil spot remover on remaining stubborn stains. This approach provides economical treatment of mixed contamination.

Important Limitations

Don’t use this concentrated remover on polished stone countertops. The formula is too aggressive for delicate polished finishes. Stontex Stain Proof Alkaline Cleaner provides appropriate cleaning for polished stone surfaces.

Test on small, inconspicuous areas before treating visible locations. This verification ensures compatibility with your specific surface. Different stone types and sealers may react differently.
