Anyone have any tips for getting grease stains out from pavers or cement around your cooking area?

    I have used that spray called "Gunk" that is made to degrease an engine to get an oil stain off of concrete. My guess is that it would work well on food grease. Spray it on, wait about 15 minutes, scrub and rinse off.

    Try TSP (tri sodium phosphate) found in most grocery stores. Bad thing is pavers are very porous so oils will soak in deep and odds are slim of getting the stains out. Good luck.

    When you find what works, let me know and when you find how to prevent it from happening, let me know.

    I have not actually used this product yet, but will be sealing the paver sidewalks I put in last year:

    Are the pavers sealed?

    no not sealed, we just put them in this past fall.
    What i need to do is build myself a table. The stains are from moving things between the 'shelves' of my gasser and the egg

    I have used a product "OSR" Oil Stain Remover which I get in Lowes in the paint section. About $10 a 1/2 gallon. Works great on oil and power steering fluid on pavers. Might be a solution.

    found some degreaser stuff called listoff at supermarket. Put it on stained pavers at full strength then scrubbed a bit with a broom and some hot water. Looks like it actually got stains out. Area had not completly dried so not 100% sure....and won't know for a few days as it's snowing now and explecting 8-10 inches.
