How to Remove Transmission Fluid Stains from Your Driveway
Transmission fluid spills or leaks may leave a bright red stain on light-colored concrete. Here are some suggested steps for removing the stain 

1. Spray the stain with oven cleaner and let it sit for 10 minutes.
   
2. Use a stiff brush to scrub the spot and rinse with a hose at its highest pressure.
   
3. If the stain is still there repeat the process.
   
   

How to Remove Gasoline Stains from Your Driveway
Spilled gasoline not only leaves stains on your paved driveway; the marks are likely accompanied by an odor you’ll want to neutralize. 

1. Put on protective gloves and goggles.
   
2. Soak a fresh gas spill with cat litter, baking soda or commercial absorbents.
   
3. Sweep the soiled litter or absorbent into a coffee can with a lid. Talk to your local fire department about how to properly dispose of it.
   
4. Scrub the stain with a mixture of dishwasher liquid and water. Let it soak in for a few minutes before rinsing with a hose.
   
5. If that doesn’t take care of the problem, Good Housekeeping suggests buying trisodium phosphate from a hardware store, mixing it with warm water and scrubbing the spill with the solution until the stain lightens.
   

Those spilled fluids may be unsightly, but they may not be permanent.
