    • 1). Protect yourself against the TSP by wearing long rubber gloves and safety glasses.

    • 2). Prepare a TSP paste to draw out the oil. Stir together 1 cup of warm water, 1 oz. of TSP and 1/2 cup of talc powder in a container.

    • 3). Disperse the paste over the oil stain using a trowel. Cover the oil-stained concrete completely. Wait for the paste to dry and harden.

    • 8). Scour the affected concrete with the brush to dissolve the remaining oil.
