Hello, I was hoping that someone can recommend what remedy to try to
get a grease stains out of the patio bricks. Our grill leaked and we
have large grease stains on the patio. The patio is made out of some
sort of stone (looks like bricks to me). I tried Goo Gone but that did
not work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Katie

Try using waterless hand cleaner - like mechanics use. Goop is one
brand. Scrub it into the stain dry with a stiff brush. Then hose it
off thoroughly. I use the stuff on black grease on clothes, and it
completely removes the grease.

You will probably never get it all from the pores. I'd try some Oil Dry
first, letting it stand a few days, they I'd try soaking it with Dawn and
hosing it off.

What am I saying? No, I'd just probably just learn to live with it. They
do make mats to go under grills that are supposed to stop that from
happening.

Thank you for your replies. I feel extremely stupid that we did not
get the mat (first house + first grill = newbies). Thank you for you
suggestions, I will try it.
PS I am getting used to the idea of living with these stains.

Muriatic acid might work if you remember to be extremely careful not to
touch it or breathe the fumes.
