Product Information

Full details

The Rustins Driveway & Oil Cleaner is designed for homeowners and property managers seeking an effective solution for removing stubborn oil stains and general grime from outdoor hard surfaces. Its key benefit is transforming dirty patios, driveways, and paths back to their original appearance with a powerful, yet biodegradable, water-based formula. A slight caveat is the need for a brief waiting period for the solution to work and potential frothing, requiring careful rinsing.

FAQs

What types of surfaces can I use this cleaner on?

You can use Rustins Driveway & Oil Cleaner on masonry, brick, concrete, and stone surfaces such as patios, driveways, and paths.

Is this product safe for the environment?

Yes, it is a biodegradable, water-based formula.

Do I need to mix this product before use?

No, Rustins Driveway & Oil Cleaner is a ready-to-use product and does not require mixing.

How much area can one 4-litre container cover?

The coverage is approximately 5 square metres per litre, depending on the porosity of the surface. A 4-litre container can cover up to 20 square metres.

What should I do if I have very old or deep oil stains?

For severely affected areas, it is recommended to use a hard bristle brush to agitate the solution on the stain after the initial application and waiting period, before rinsing thoroughly.

Should I wear protective gear?

Yes, it is recommended to observe proper safety measures during application, including wearing appropriate protective wear such as gloves and eye protection.

What is the process after applying the cleaner?

After applying and allowing the cleaner to work briefly (noting any frothing), you should agitate with a brush if necessary, and then rinse the surface thoroughly with water.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner is not lifting stains effectively

Ensure the surface was adequately wetted before application. For stubborn stains, allow the cleaner to work for a slightly longer period and use a stiff brush to agitate the area before rinsing.

Excessive or persistent frothing

Frothing is a normal reaction. Ensure you rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If frothing is unmanageable, slightly reduce the application concentration if possible (though this product is ready-to-use) or rinse more frequently.

Product appears to be affecting the surface material

This is likely due to not testing on a small, hidden area first. Discontinue use on the affected area and rinse thoroughly. If damage is evident, consult Rustins for specific advice.

Product is difficult to rinse away

Use a strong jet of water from a hose or pressure washer (on a suitable setting for the surface) to ensure all residue is removed. Multiple rinses may be necessary.
