how to remove grease stains from painted concrete

Removing grease stains from painted concrete can be challenging, but there are several effective methods you can try. Since you've already used CLR and an all-purpose cleaner, here are some additional steps:

1. **Baking Soda Paste**: Make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to the grease stain and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Scrub with a stiff brush and rinse with water.

2. **Dish Soap and Hot Water**: Mix a few drops of dish soap with hot water. Use a scrub brush to apply the mixture to the stain. The heat helps break down the grease. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

3. **Commercial Degreasers**: If the above methods don’t work, consider using a commercial degreaser specifically designed for concrete. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and rinsing.

4. **Pressure Washing**: If you have access to a pressure washer, this can be effective for tougher stains. Make sure to use a fan tip and keep the nozzle at a safe distance to avoid damaging the paint.

If these methods don’t yield results, you may want to consult a professional cleaner experienced with painted surfaces, which typically costs between $100 to $300, depending on the extent of the staining and your location.
