Answers:
Use Wax and Grease Remover. You can buy from a hardware store. Just use an old broom and place the liquid over the area you want clean and get the broom and run over the area with the broom like a scrubbing brush. Leave few a 10 to 20 mins and get a hose and wash it away. You might need to do this a couple of times depending on how long the grease has been there.

Because concrete is pourous it is hard to remove stains your best bet is a primer coat then an epoxy, you can pick it up at a local hardware store, and they will show you haw to clean then prime and apply the epoxy, all you need is a paint roller and hose.

well you take some water and then let that dry then you take kitty litter and that might help take the grease away because thats what we did when we had grease in the garage and on our driveway
Use muratic acid dilluted with water. You can buy it at any hardware store and its relatively safe to use are long as you have good ventilation and don't get it on your skin.
Try cleaining it with a powder laundry detergent, put the soap on the stains and let is set for a few hours. After that just clean what is left and rinse. I would recommend putting an epoxy paint on the garage floor after that to avoid this problem in the future
1. Pour cola on the oily or dry stained areas, and leave the cola on overnight. Squirt a generous amount of dishwashing liquid into a bucket until you have a good lather. Rinse with the soapy water, then with a garden hose.
2. Sprinkle baking soda or an absorbent powder such as cornmeal or sawdust on the oily spots. If the stain is dry, wet it first to make a scouring paste. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom.
3. Sprinkle automatic dishwasher detergent on the oily concrete. Leave it for several minutes, then pour boiling water on the stained area. Scrub with a stiff brush or push broom, then rinse.
4. Try a commercial concrete cleaner such as Garage and Driveway Cleaner by Red Devil Co. or a grease solvent such as Benzine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Sprinkle trisodium phosphate (TSP) on the oily concrete. If the stain is dry, wet it first. Let it stand for 30 minutes. Scrub using a stiff broom. TSP is a dangerous product; if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing. Also, never wash a TSP product down storm drains.
6. As a last resort, combat tough spills with muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Apply the acid following the manufacturer's directions, and let it soak for several seconds. Follow with a pressure washer set at 2,500 to 3,000 lbs. per square inch (psi), or 176 to 211 kg per square cm. Like TSP, muriatic acid is a dangerous product; likewise, if you must use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing, and never wash such a product down storm drains.
7. After trying any of the strategies above, sprinkle baking soda over the cleaned area to neutralize the solution you've used.
use a power washer. works very fast
