What is the best way to get a grease spot off of brick pavers?

Dump a lot of baking soda on the spot, add a tiny amount of water enough to make a paste (don’t add too much because you’re using it like a scouring powder). Work away at it with a toothbrush. When you’ve gotten as much as you can this way, rinse well and let dry.

If you still have the spot, try using a degreaser such as Zep. It really works, but I’m sure it’s toxic, and I hate to use more of that stuff than I need, which is why I suggested the baking soda first. After you get it all up, you could consider using a sealer on your bricks. Grease and other stains will come up faster.

Simple green is great for grease stains.

If you don’t have the means or way to get something from a home store, get cat litter and try that.

I’ve heard gasoline can cut through oil and grease pretty quick, plus it evaporates pretty quickly.

Gasoline is made with petroleum (oil), correct? How would oil cut through oil?

Please let us know what works. I once got grease on pavers I was never able to remove.

@jca I don’t know how it works, but I’ve used it to get oil based spry paint off stuff before.

I’ve heard that WD40 is good for this sort of thing, though I haven’t tried it. Supposedly, a good spray/soak with WD40 will enable its solvents to cut the grease or oil, and then a high-pressure water hose can spray it away.

I’d sure like to hear that it works.

From the sounds of things, this sounds similar to the advice about using gasoline or other solvents, but I think that WD40 is also non-toxic.

I think I would try scrubbing it with dish soap first, rinse well afterward.

Haven’t tried this but it makes sense.

Take it out and turn it over., Re-sand area. Done. This is assuming that it has the same texture on both sides.

The old style (non-clay) cat litter should work well for this job. Poor a small pile of cat litter in the oil spot and then grind it in with your feet. Use sideways and circular spinning motions with your feet forcing tiny cat litter particles down deep into the porous paver. Put real effort into this. Then sweep away the cat litter and examine the paver. Repeat more times as necessary. Good luck.

Follow up to getting rid of the grease spot. Once gone look into a “Grill Mat”.

I was told chlorine may work.

Easy, I worked in a factory where this happened a lot, use jays fluid neat, cover oil stain and use scrubbing brush, then wash with warm water
