oil leak on customers drive

Van decided to spring a oil today and has left some stains on customers drives. Going to remove them with pressure washer is there anything I can put on the oil first

I have been into my bikes for years and my old dear will tell you that my little Karcher will not remove oils stains on its own. Like someone else mentioned...you want a degreaser or similar.

If it's a block pave drive lightly dampen oil stain, drizzle small amount of brick acid on stain you'll see it foam up when drawing oil, leave on for a few minutes just before it dries pressure wash it off.
Dont risk it on flags as you'll stain them.
