In the doghouse
I've googled a couple things, but all I can see is industrial, parking lot cleaner for oil stains. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

With it being grease I would try a poultice of acetone and comet with bleach. Make a paste to the thickness of peanut butter, apply to stain, cover airtight with plastic and tape down and check back in 12hrs.
If your pavers are dyed abort this mission because it will also remove the color of the pavers.
Can your pavers be flipped and still have the same finish?-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky. -
Pavers are gray, but I don't think they are flippable. I may try your acetone/bleach mix on a different spot to see if it bleaches the cement. Otherwise, I'm still open to inputs. Thanks, Mattman!

THere is a product called Bartenders Friend. I use it to clean anything and everything. It pulled two year old rust stains out of granite countertops. Mix it into a paste and leave it on the stain. No promises but the stuff is made from the tears of virgins and unicorn horns. Most hardware stores sell it as does bed bath and beyond

TheShaytoon said:Bartenders Friend.To the OP, have you tried kitty litter? Just lay it on thick and leave it for a few days. Maybe scrub with a heavy brush. Not perfect, most likely, but it should help some.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Yes! barkeepers friend. You can let it sit till the paste dries, then wash it off.

Another product that will lift the grease out is called Oil-Dri sold in automotive stores. It is very fine and draws out and attaches the molecules of oil and grease. Let it set dry and let it work by itself 24 hours or more. At least it is not a chemical like others suggested here which probably will mess with the color. One of my cars a few years ago was a diesel which had a minor but very annoying oil pan leak which could never be fixed. If you know anything about diesels the oil is very black! Oil-Dri did wonders on cleaning up my garage floor. It isn't like brand new concrete, but what a difference it made!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

The pavers are probably very porous. You'll need to change them out. It's not a surface problem.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Can you just replace a couple of pavers, or are they set in mortar? Might want to seal for the future.XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

If it's porous, it will fade. Maybe some boiling water will help. I find the best remedy is a vodka tonic.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer.

Easy fix, just get some Simple Green (biodegradable degreaser), spray in on the stain. Use full strength and let it sit for a bit, spray again, and use a scrub brush, let sit again and then come back with pressure washer. Stain gone!

Cover it with a BBQ mat.That will give you a place to lay greasy grids from now on.

can you take pics? I used some stuff to clean my deck. It also works for concrete and other surfaces. Maybe you can use some sort of chemical. But is may remove the stain on your pavers as well.post pics so we can see.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

As one of the previous posters said, use kitty litter. The only thing I do different is I sprinkle it on and then step on it and twist my foot. Basically grind it in, then sweep it off. Works great!

Boiling hot water w/ oxyclean and a shop vac worked for the stain I had on my patio. I dumped boiling oxy clean water and put my shop vac directly over the spot to try to suck it out to the pores after is sat for a few minutes..Aurora,OH

There is a product we sell made by Alliance called Oil and Grease remover. It's made for paver and natural stone. Stuff works great. Here's a link to it: http://www.alliancegator.com/2011/gator-oil-and-grease-cleaner/
Had a similar situation with a customer last year and it worked for him.
