    Hi, how do i get diesel spilled onto a slabbed footpath, in which a plumber was fixing a burner & some spilled onto it!

    Thanks, as afaik path & patio cleaner from Aldi was used on it, but it doesnt look like its shifted as its for someone else i'm finding it out for them.

    Thanks for any help received.

    Go to a local builders providers and ask from industrial strength brick/concrete cleaner.

    Dilute it a bit and then hand scrub it into the diesel spill and then power wash it away.:)

    Dont forget to wear chemical proof rubber gloves too,unless you want to get a skin infection in your fingers and hands from the cleaner.

    Thanks, found out they also used the brick cleaner & diluted into a bucket & used a tall scrubbing brush on top of it & washed it away with a hose, but hopefully can get a power wash.

    Have also heard that sand/salt can draw it out? whats the view on that?
