TSP is safer to use. Breathing MEK, or getting it on your skin can seriously damage your liver.
Of course you'd need to damn near bathe in the stuff, but there is a reason most industry has moved on to other solvents. |
And some bio degradable enzyme powder is less dangerous still.

I can't find anything relevant when I google MEK
MEK = methyl ethyl ketone Try this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-St...ME71/100210976 MEK is bad shit, these guys are not joking when they say not to breathe it or get it on your skin. |

I've seen your built thread so this result does not surprise me :giggle:

Garage is very well ventilated and the spots are all close to the door, so it should work out. I'm honored that you've read my thread!

Best way to really get the shit out is to just grind, $150 for the grinder for a day and it'll be ready to take commercial epoxy. But you only need the oil look to go away so TSP is probably your best bet. Be careful with that in high concentrations as well since its quite basic and will burn you like acid will. Also dont breath the dust in for the same reason.

Base burns are worse than acid burns as things go.
Gonna try doing that next. Thanks leafy. I tried some of the ish from home depot krud kutter or something. Didn't really do all that much so TSP is next and also going to try MEK. HD here didn't have it, but I think lowes does. Weird.... |

How do you guys keep your garage floors from getting filthy when you're working on stuff and how do you get stains out of them? I've seen a ton of videos on youtube, but it's always someone selling shit or saying that rubbing in kitty litter magically makes stains go away...
I'm trying to lift a few spots of oil out but curious how you guys do it. If it was up to me, I'd epoxy the floor, but sadly it's not my decision to make. Steam cleaning or very hot water can help reduce those spots. |
MEK on an old oil stain. Two applications, blotched:
