Oil Eater Original 32 oz Cleaner/Degreaser - Dissolve Grease Oil and Heavy-Duty Stains

My wife has been using Shout to pretreat my oil and grease stained work clothes. It works better than any other pretreatment out there, until now. I used this cleaner for the first time and my high-vis shirts came out as bright as the day I bought them. Not one grease/oil stain remained.

I had some oil stains on the asphalt street right in front of my house. They came from occasional cars parked there while visiting my next door neighbor. Some of the spots were over 6 months old. I have been putting down an oil absorbent product (much like kitty litter) as soon as I saw the fresh oil but that didn't really work. I finally got this stuff, sprayed it on full strength, lightly wet it with a garden hose, scrubbed it a bit (less than a minute) with a cheap rubber "broom/squeegee" then liberally hosed it off with water. Incredibly the oil stains are at least 95% gone! I suspect with a second treatment they'll be no trace of the oil left. Not sure this would work on concrete but for asphalt it seems perfect.

Used to clean my outdoor gas grill. Warmed up the grill, sprayed on, let it sit for a while, then rinsed off with a hose. I previously used on a stone patio to remove grease from it and it worked well.

Large splotches of vegetable oil on tan brick front porch. This stuff and a bit of dish soap did the job.

I used this to treat motor oil, transmission oil and wax candle stains on driveway paver stones. The stones are very porous and some have been stained for years. I achieved mediocre results by spraying, scrubbing and rinsing with water.However, if you treat it before it rains, even a light consistent rain does a great job of washing away the stains. I assume the solution breaks up the stain particles and the rain does a better job than my garden hose of rinsing it away. All recent stains (weeks old) are gone and older stains (years old) are mostly gone.

Basically the product works on driveway oil stains, but not overly well. Following directions on the label, I used it on two oil spills from an older auto and let it stand some minutes before scrubbing with a brush and rinsing with warm water. You could still see where the stains were, but most had gone away. I used cheapo kitty litter and a brick to redo the stains and completely remove them.

I am so impressed with this product. The dirt road in front of our house was recently chip sealed. The bitumen (black oily substance used to chip seal the roads) ended up with a puddle at the end of our driveway from a low spot in the road and a recent rain. After someone drove into our driveway after driving through this wet black oily puddle, we had a long black tire mark that looked terrible. I ordered this product and cleaned it up the ugly black bitumen oily splash marks and tire marks several days after the stain occurred. All the stains were removed. I've never seen a product work like this before. I highly recommend and would buy again.

I don't prepare a lot of food that requires frying or browning, but sometimes I can't avoid it. I usually try to remember to wear a full apron, but that still leaves the sleeves uncovered - plus I don't always remember the apron. That is not the main laundry issue for me, however. My husband has very dry and sensitive skin, and it has gotten more so as he has grown older; and of course winter in the Midwest, with forced-air central heating, is really tough even on normal skin. So, my husband frequently goes to bed with all sorts of face and body creams on, which he doesn't always rub in thoroughly (I do use a heavy-duty alpha-hydroxy hand cream at night, but always wear cotton-spandex gloves). I've had SOME trouble with getting grease spots out of sheets in the past, but we currently have one set of sheets that is a very nice dark taupe color, and that really seems to ATTRACT and retain any grease. Tried the laundry pre-spray products I usually keep on hand, with so-so results. Bought some more heavy-duty ones online, and they did better, but some really smelled AWFUL. This stuff does have SOME odor, but because of my husband's sensitivity, I double-rinse everything anyway, and the finished laundry has no odor (most other laundry products I use are totally fragrance-free). This product works great if you spray it right on the greasy area, and even if I miss SOME areas, it does improve them (but does not completely eliminate them). So, for grease on laundry, this is the best stuff that *I have found.
