    Yep. Brake cleaner. A can is $4 and will go a long way. Spray it on, let it sit 5+ minutes, rub it with a brush, then pressure wash it all away. You should be good to go. We've done this many times on our drive way. Sometimes weeks after the drips were first noticed.

    No, its just irrelevant information related to his question. The many replies about responsibility and safety sounded like a lawyers forum, not a shooters forum.

    I get it, as gun owners, we are to shoot first and ask questions later... Maybe you have not noticed that a forum is a place to expand ones knowledge and the questions directly relates to the original question. If he felt reservation with the question he would have put the thread back on the direction he wanted it and he did by thanking BP for the concern and answering it. If you do not want to share knowledge maybe this is not the place for you.

    It is very relevant. It is not his property to do with as he pleases and he has the other tenants and a property owner to consider.
    You know, I think it illustrates that this "community" of shooters on this forum are VERY CONSCIOUS of safety and the responsibilities that our activities may bring, being firearm related or scrubbing a slab of concrete..
    It would be nice if others considered the consequences of their actions prior to implementing their actions.

    It speaks volumes of Bears character that he feels that as he made the stains, it is his obligation to clean them up.
    Hmmm, there's a concept, an individual taking responsibility for their actions.
    Go figure...........

    Might depend on the pressure washer.

    I tried one of the "homeowner models" to strip paint off my gutters, outside clapboards, and concrete floor....nothing happened---it was worthless.

    My neighbor loaned me his gasoline powered model.

    Took the paint off my clapboards and stripped the paint off the galvanized gutters (down to the metal), with just water.
    I had to be careful, as at first, with the "jet" nozzle. It put a hole through my fascia board, just below the gutter, until I learned how to use it better.
    This was from about an 8' distance.

    It took EVERYTHING off my garage floor with just water using the "fan" nozzle. It was literally like using a paint scraper to lift off the oil, grease, paint, etc.

    While I can't guarantee it will work on your problem, I can say that my success depended on what kind of pressure washer I used.

    If the liquid options don't work, can you use a sand blaster? Link to a Harbor Freight $40 kit: http://www.harborfreight.com/portabl...kit-37025.html A small gun with a mounted hopper is on sale for $22 http://www.harborfreight.com/21-oz-h...gun-95793.html The media would sweep up & is non-toxic.

    I don't use a sand blaster, you could put out your eye.. Don't use brake cleaner, it contains vOC's and is a cancer risk, also potentially damaging by adsorption, absorption, injection, inhalation, and ingestion. Recharge your fire extinguishers. Eat your vegetables, and above all.,,
