Oil Stains On Concrete Or Pavers - Use EATOILS™ BT200™ And They'll Be GONE!



hydraulic spill on concrete pavers                                             concrete pavers after using BT200

Oil stains on concrete can be a real problem. Whether it is on a roadway, driveway, restaurant drive-thru, bank drive thru, mall parking lot, parking garage, pavers, or whatever, - large or small, it can be an ugly mess!

Typical cleaners and degreasers will have some affect however, they don't go deep enough into the pores of the concrete to remove the black oil stains so only the surface of the oil is removed and a lasting stain remains - the results are usually less than satisfactory.

EATOILS™ BT200™ on the other hand, does go deep into the pores of the concrete to remove the oil residue and return the concrete to its original color.

EATOILS™ BT200™ is composed of natural surfactants, nutrients and beneficial microbes that target oils and grease with billions of tiny scrubbers to break down and digest the oils and other hydrocarbons and replace them with three harmless chemicals - oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide as a result.

Here's a testimonial from the Pressure Washing Institute's website Testimonials forum:

BT200™ and Pavers "I have been cleaning this one property’s front entrance area for about 4 years. They only clean it once a year. It has an area of red pavers (about 7500 sq. ft.), that when I got there 4+ years ago was totally wasted with leaked oil, a major stain as buses and cars park here. I told the manager back then - the best thing was to flip the pavers. He didn’t want to do that. I have cleaned the area 4 times with heavy duty degreasers and heat, but just didn’t get the stains out enough at all, I just made it better than it was. I was never happy with the finished product but the manager said it looked better. We would finish it but there were still some pretty black areas and then lighter stuff that looked okay."

"Well, this week I used EATOILS™ BT200™ on it and I have to say, it was a major difference and looked damn good, I'm pretty impressed."

"Before when we cleaned even when it was still wet you could see the oil stain. Last night we cleaned and wet areas and areas that had some time to dry out - you just couldn't see the stains that have been there for years. My guys and I were pretty surprised - and so was the maintenance guy. The stains were gone (if not 100%, certainly 90%) - it really looked good - a lot better than any other time we have cleaned. We went the night before and applied the BT200™ and went back last night and cleaned. I took some pictures but I want to go back when its 100% dry and take another look. But no matter what, it’s A LOT better."

NEXT DAY: "All I’ve got to say is WOW! After seeing how it looked last night, I really wanted to see how it looked the next day when it was dry, WOW!! As I was driving to take a look at it the property, the manager on property called to tell me how great it looked. I told him I would be there in a few minutes. Man, it looks 98% better than anytime I cleaned it before. (I did do something different on one 10x10 section last night. Where I had the BT200™ on a little area I X-jetted some Degreaser, the area wasn’t any cleaner than where I just put BT200™.)"

"Now on the pavers it is fantastic! There was some border area with a very smooth concrete and that is showing the stain shadow a little more than the pavers, but even that’s 85% cleaner than I ever got it before. This product even got in between the pavers really good - in the grooves there was no stain at all. Good stuff EATOILS™!" Testimonial from Jeff LeCours of JL PRESSURE WASHING of Myrtle Beach, SC.

Testimonial - When It Comes To Deep Cleaning Diesel And Oil Stains From Concrete - There Is No Substitute For Eatoils(TM) BT200(TM)

typical truck fueling station before and after
use of EATOILS™ BT200™ (1 treatment)
Here is a testimonial from one of our mobile wash contractors who uses EATOILS™ BT200™ for cleaning hydrocarbon impacted concrete pads:

I am the owner of a mobile “environmental” pressure washing company and we specialize in everything from spill cleanup, diesel and fuel pad cleaning, mold/mildew abatement to fleet washing with full reclaim and recycle.

One of our toughest jobs is removing oil and grease stains from a diesel fuel pad. Over the years, we have tried just about every degreaser, green product and even 3-4 different types of Bio-enzymatic cleaners. One account in particular was washed with EATOILS™ BT200™ on our first wash. They were highly impressed with the results and I have to admit, I was surprised to see how many of these 2-3 years old stains came out of the concrete. The thick black oil and diesel buildup just peeled away when we used the BT200™ as instructed.


Over the subsequent cleanings, I felt it would be a great opportunity to test other products and see how they stacked up against the EATOILS™ product. After six more washings, I was asked to meet with the Director of maintenance and his concerns were clear… “We would like you to put as much into the job now as you did on the first wash”.

I was stunned that they thought I might not be as interested in cleaning their diesel pads now as I had been 24 months ago (pads are cleaned quarterly). He went on to explain that after the first wash, the pads actually continued to lighten.

Our next visit, I used the EATOILS™ BT200™ and once again, my client was thrilled with the results. It took me 6 months and a potentially unhappy client to determine that there is NO SUBSTITUTE for the EATOILS™ product. 

We also use their SUPERFRESH™ product when we clean compactors or anywhere that has an odor that traditional chemicals and 200-degree water just can’t conquer. The SUPERFRESH™ product is absolutely amazing. We always have a bottle in our home for the laundry and when we wash our children’s clothes, we throw a shot in and it removes any and all odors.

If you haven’t used the EATOILS™ products yet, you owe it to yourself to order up a couple of 5-gallon pails of the products that you will most likely use. It truly is the best way to let the cleaner do the work! Their customer service is fantastic and shipping is prompt.

Pro Power Wash and EATOILS BT200 Clean Drive Thru for Chick-Fil-A in Houston, Texas

Pro Power Wash, a sister company of Clean and Green Solutions, one of our US distributors, recently received a contract to keep the parking lot and drive thru areas clean for the Chick-Fil-A restaurant located at West Lake Houston Parkway and FM 1960 in Humble, TX.

Pro Power Wash uses the EATOILS™ BT200™ Certified Green Degreaser to remove all oil stains, food and beverage stains, and tire marks from concrete, asphalt and even soil. Using the BT200™ full strength, Pro Power Wash applies water to the heavily stained areas, followed by BT200™ full strength, scrubbed into the concrete until a white lather appears, and then it is allowed to sit for 60 minutes. The drive thru is then power washed using a concrete scrubber, (3500 psi at 5.6 gpm) and the concrete is returned to - 'like new' condition.

Matt Michaels, Chick-Fil-A operator says, "I have never seen our parking lot and drive thru area this clean. That BT200™ is awesome, you have made me a believer"

Removing oil stains from pavement


One of the toughest jobs that our industrial and homeowner clients describe to us is: Removing oil stains from asphalt or pavement. Oil stains can occur from drips from automobiles, hydraulic spills, vehicular accidents and many other unfortunate events - and the stains can be very dramatic and upsetting to the property owner. Many products have been tried however, until now none have delivered satisfactory results. 

Since paving material is manufactured with a petroleum based oil (it is the binder/tar that holds the pavement together) any other oil that drops on the surface quickly becomes a part of the pavement and leaves a long-lasting stain. For sites with regular spills like parking spots, parking lots and commercial properties, the added oil can actually deteriorate the pavement over time leading to costly repairs and resurfacing.

Our clients have found that our EATOILS™ BT200™ is an ideal product for this type of problem on concrete which is actually a poured stone with a very porous finish. Oils and grease become trapped inside the pores of the concrete and it is very difficult to remove the stains with regular degreasers. BT200™ was originally designed for concrete cleaning and it has proven to be an excellent product for removing some of the worst surface oil and grease stains quickly and effectively due to its microbial cleaning action. BT200™ is also excellent for superior deep cleaning of concrete for contractors who want to seal or paint on these surfaces after cleaning.

Recently, our clients have reported similar successes with BT200™ on oil stained asphalt surfaces. Deep cleaning asphalt or pavement is a slower process than concrete due to the nature of the pavement, a mixture of stones held together with an oil based binder. Instead of cleaning the stain in a single treatment like on concrete, pavement requires several treatments over a few weeks to yield similar results. The pictures above represent the before and after shots for a spill created from drips from a car that was freshly undercoated with rustproofing fluid ( the first picture was on the second day after the spill, the second picture is 21 days later after 2 treatments and 3 good rains). We have success stories from our clients using BT200™ for car oil, hydraulic oil, food oils & grease, industrial cutting fluids, and heating oil spills.
