A week ago, my friend cooked smash burgers on my grill and left about ten grease stains on my pavers. I've already tried using Crud Cutter, but that didn't work. I even attempted to use a blow torch on one of the stains (which helped with some oil stains on my driveway), but it turned the paver brown, so I stopped. Does anyone have practical tips for getting these grease stains out without damaging the pavers? Thanks!

For those grease stains, you might want to try mixing hot water with some Dawn dish soap and sprinkle in baking soda to absorb any excess liquid. Just scrub a bit with a clean shop towel or a toothbrush to avoid scratching the pavers. If you’re not worried about scratching, a wire brush could work. Just remember to pour on the hot water, scrub, rinse, and repeat as needed!
Dawn soap works wonders—let it sit for about 15 minutes and use a stiff brush or a power washer to clear it out. There’s even a "professional grade" of Dawn available at Home Depot if you need something stronger!
Also, brake cleaner does a great job too. Just be careful with it!
You could also consider using kitty litter or even gasoline—just be cautious! Douse the spot with gas, cover it with kitty litter, let it sit, and then sweep it up afterward. It's almost guaranteed to help remove those stains!
This is definitely the way to go!
