Sometimes diesel and oil stains just need a little extra cleaning power…
Diesel and oil stains can be stubborn to clean off concrete, especially if the residue has formed a tough barrier. If you normally use EXIMO® to clean your fuel stains, it can take a while for the microorganisms to clean through thick fuel buildups. To break up these heavier clusters of fuel and obtain a deeper clean, use this Heavy Duty Cleaning Process that combines OTIS Multi-Surface Cleaner and EXIMO® Waterless Concrete Cleaner.
