Unfortunately, we know those splattered stains are hard to ignore. If you don’t clean up quickly, oil will seep into the surface, conceal the beauty of your garage, and, even worse, affect the lifespan of your concrete.
In a hurry to avoid these mishaps, you might reach for harsh chemicals to combat stubborn stains. Before you do that, while they might help, it’s worth noting that choosing the wrong type of cleaner could damage your garage floor.
