I discovered this years ago after I spilled my lemonade on the drive way. I was too lazy to spray it off immediately and waited an hour or so (wife was nagging me and I wanted to prove a point about doing it when I'm darn good and ready.... hmmmm ex-wife explains a lot).

Anyway when I got around to spraying it with the water hose the citrus acid lifted the oil stains right out of the concrete.

Good Tip - have you ever tried other acidic drinks like cola prodructs?  Wonder if they would have the same affect?

Exellent, that surely beats the crap out of a power washer. Broke one of them out one time and it took me forever to finish  :'(

Swede it does, Ive done the same with pepsi (spilled it, then rinsed it off and concrete was cleaner then before)...and it cleans battery terminals to  8)
