How to remove decking oil stains on outdoor tiles?

Hi

 

despite being careful a few sections of outdoor tiles (rough textures) have stains from outdoor deck oil. How do I get them off? Tried cleaning with water but isn’t going away. Pics attached.

Re: How to rid if deck oil stains on outdoor tiles

Hi @hisumesh,

 

Would you be able to let us know the deck oil product you've used? I'll then be able to contact the manufacturer to determine if there might be a chemical stripper that can be used.

Hi Sumesh (@hisumesh),

 

If it was the water-based Cabot's oil, you can try using Metholated spirits. If it was the oil-based Cabot's oil then you can try Mineral turps.

You'll likely need to give the area a good scrub, too, with a stiff bristle brush. The longer it's been there, the harder you'll need to scrub it.

Hi @MitchellMc 

 

@The product I used was 

Cabots 4L Aquadeck Natural Exterior Decking Oil. Is that water based (going by use of the word Aqua)?

Yes, that's the water-based version @hisumesh.
