    Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Your grandpa's advice is helping people on CZcams in 2020 and I think that's pretty cool. You have helped me and I appreciate it! All the best.

    I wish you would have swept it up and washed the spot so we could see how it looked without the dust. Anyway, this is the best result I have seen on CZcams and will be trying it. Thanks

      Did it work?

    • @janiereeves4440
      @janiereeves4440 Před 2 lety +1

      @@maribelsosa186 Yes it did work, however it made the area lighter than the surrounding pavement. That is no problem unless it is in a place with satin smooth cement and you want it all to look perfect. In my particular area I will take the lighter color over oil stains any day.

    This video helped me very much 👍🏻 basically bleached the area I scrubbed using an actual brick and a 250 lb person..... now family wants whole driveway done, great 😐

    Appreciate it! Great work out and clean concrete. Had to clean up about a quart of spilled oil during an oil change. You have to grind the litter in. Think of how you use a pencil eraser.

    This works I have used dirt from the road and let it sit then brush it off and then just dust it off. Removes a lot

    Been doing this for years on my my concrete driveway, but instead of a brick, I use a old piece of wood. 2" x 4" x 10".

    My recommendation is to pour the cat litter on the oil spot on the concrete take a medium stiff bristle brush or toothbrush pour .And then I ran water from a garden hose onto the spot and keep rubbing the cut the kitty litter back-and-forth until the spot disappears.

    • @danielebrparish4271
      @danielebrparish4271 Před 3 lety +2

      Kitty litter/floor dry is bentonite clay and absorbs any liquids quickly. Wetting it makes it less effective.

  • @poetrynook962
    @poetrynook962 Před 3 lety +4

    Thank you! I wish there was a long handled thing to rub the kitty litter in with because I can't get down on my knees. Well, I can get down. Just can't get back up.

  • @salvatoresireci2450

    Unless you swept it off and washed off the powder the stain might still be there .
    wish you would have done that.
    NOT CONVINCED

  • @sandralopez8807
    @sandralopez8807 Před 3 lety +6

    I wish you would have hosed it off so I could better see if the spots were clearly gone.

    What did it look like after it rained? Was it still clear?

  • @ovidiogarza9387
    @ovidiogarza9387 Před 3 lety +4

    How long do you leave the dust on there before washing it off? I tried this and looked just like the video except when I rinsed it off the spots were still there. Re-applied and have not rinsed it off this time. Hoping it works.

    • @hostilityy
      @hostilityy Před 3 lety +1

      You have to grind it in with your feet. It doesn’t do anything if you just pour it on to sit

  • @arcaderacer586
    @arcaderacer586 Před 4 lety

    Afrer the oil spot is gone does the concrete look scratched or discolored in the spot where the oil was??

    • @danielebrparish4271
      @danielebrparish4271 Před 3 lety +1

      It won't look scratched but yes sometimes there is residual oil that is too deep for the kitty litter to absorb. Since oil is lighter than water you can wet the spot down and reapply the kitty litter if anymore oil comes to the surface. Or, you can heat the spot with a heat lamp for 12 hours and wipe up the oil with a rag then do the kitty litter treatment again.

    @drachenfeuer5042 Před 2 lety +5

    Doesnt this just cover it up until the next time the concrete gets wet???

    • @magicmirrorphotoboothla668
      @magicmirrorphotoboothla668 Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, that’s exactly what happens. There is no way to remove oil from a concrete, stone or pavers. I tried every single thing I could find on CZcams. Nothing works

  • @glasshalffull2930
    @glasshalffull2930 Před rokem

    Best thing I ever tried was to put down liquid clothes detergent, scrub it in with an old plastic bristle brush and the oil absorbent on top and grind it in with your foot and then leave it for a few days. Got to give it time to work.

  • @dianenelson112
    @dianenelson112 Před 3 lety +5

    Oil gone? Yeah under a thin coat of sand you created. Bet it resurfaced after a washing the floor.

  • @sereanable
    @sereanable Před 6 lety

    can you use sand instead of cat litter

    • @christianconrad2096
      @christianconrad2096  Před 6 lety

      I don't believe so no. It's not just ground off, there is a chemical reaction with the cat litter. Hope this helps!

  • @theone2698
    @theone2698 Před 4 lety +5

    All this does is mask it..If you wash it off you can still see it

      Hmmmm. Video was made approximately 20 months ago, probably 25 days of rain since in Southern California, it's never re-appeared.

    So you just basically crushed it and covered it with sand. Lets see it after is rinsed.

  • @mradelve
    @mradelve Před 2 lety +1

    As soon as you swill the dust off you will see that the oil stain is exactly the same as it was before, so you have wasted your time and energy, if you disagree, remake the video and finish it by washing off the cat litter then we can all see. By the way are you a member of the magic circle. LOL.

  • @Cassidy-cr8zy
    @Cassidy-cr8zy Před 21 dnem

    I'm willing to bet all you really did was hide the stains under kitty litter dust. Since you didn't sweep or wash the area. We will never know.

    not very bright

    • @christianconrad2096
      @christianconrad2096  Před 5 lety +8

      If you're trying to make your concrete bright, use another solution.
      Oh wait, maybe it's your comment that's not very bright...

  • @BugBunny978
    @BugBunny978 Před 4 lety

    This just make it worse when it rains the litter just turns to oil and make more of a mess

    • @danielebrparish4271
      @danielebrparish4271 Před 3 lety +1

      Kitty litter is bentonite clay so when it gets wet it turns into mud. You should sweep up the kitty litter afterwards because the oil has been absorbed into the kitty litter. Some people put it in a dry lidded container for reuse. The effect is the same as that of a rag. Wipe up some oil with a rag than put it in water and some of it will leach out and rise to the surface.

  • @truthseekerKJV
    @truthseekerKJV Před 2 lety +2

    Conrad, sweep up the area, and hose it off, then show us the results. Until you do that, you're full of crap.

    • @christianconrad2096
      @christianconrad2096  Před rokem

      Hi Tim - As you can see by several of the other commenters below, it does and did work. To answer a different commenter, the stain was a few months old. While I admit that I regret not washing off the dust as several have said, to be honest it was a spur of the moment thing and I have better things to do that hoax the world regarding oil stains and brick dust. So to all of you doubters, I simply say thank you for watching and I invite you to not try this solution. Maybe there's better out there, and I applaud your ongoing search for knowledge.

    You couldn't find a brick but you could find a lava rock ?.... it's just the opposite for me ! But it looks like you are onto something with that lava rock thing ? Rinse that shit with some coca cola..... maybe even piss on it after some beers and you'll get it so clean you can probably carve your initials and a 2019 August right into it .... or whatever date your doing it on I dont care that's not the point! My point is .... they just dont build em like that anymore ! Your grandfather, he was apart of a time as a younger man learning and growing and smoking and knowing how to do all kinds of useful shit like this little trick here ! He probably was the kind of man and grandfather who enjoyed fishing by himself too! Either by himself or with his kid or his grandkid ! They were apart of a time that would literally whoop the shit out of us at that age, at anything they did really tho! If almost any one of us in today's America 50 years old or younger had to be tossed back into they're time to live or do they're anythings then most of us would really need to do some stepping it up if any one from those times had to be tossed into our time right now theyd laugh and probably should be the next president after trumps 2nd term is up because something tells me that would be a good way to keep America on our way back to great again like the trump man is doing our president is doing right and he is actually a righteous man who even took a job on for free tiu fuckn idiots whom seem to bash someone who is on your side for the first time a president has been in any of our fucking life times dammit !!! Get your own heads out of your own asses American fools dammit this was a good thing we can actually survive and stay around even a little bit longer now with a real dedicated to his fellow countrymen as the president of the only place in the world that everyone wants to have something to do with even if they hate us shit kill em with kindness and if it dont work and they do not want to fit in and be normal? If they want to kill innocent friends of ours and people for being American or an israelite or jew or Australian or British or any one who's not them and into they're islam bullshit fake Allah Muhammed copy of the real thing fake and truly satanic if they want to hate fuck the people who tried to be cool with them over and over since we've been doing this whole thing then just do away with the real oppressors and any who got any of you demonic twister no morals with anything but your selfish pride wearing fuckn asses too take yourself out and do it like a man who goes with nobody knowing just walk off a cliff walk with your eyes closed toward a fucking cliffside straight ahead stop blindfold yourself around 500 or more feet back for real dramatic effect if that's how you feel like dieing and going out then go ahead and stop at a thousand feet back or more then blindfold yourself real good and walk forward towards that cliffside..... start power walking now before you ruin more lifes for being weak enough as to be caught up in obvious clear as day Democrat liberal true acult type devilish full of hate lieing ways! Its happening you are weak ass people who take your governments poison literally you are no where near any real adult worldly intelligent levels more like pussys who suck blood and eat tofu and where they're pajama pants out of they're homes or bedrooms the kind of people who die at the perfect time that leave no real good for even themselves behind
