HELP! GT85 patio stain

[Darren Gregory]

Hello looking for some help perhaps from someone who has been through a similar problem.

I aplied some GT85 to my bike some of which has dripped onto my missus patio.

At the time I didnt realise that I had spilt GT85 on the patio it was only later when I thought to myeslf that it was a bit odd that the water puddles had not evaporated.

I have been incredibly stupid and what makes it worse is that the patio is weeks old and my missus may well murder me when she finds out. I have googled the problem and there seems to be a number replies on how to fix the issue but all state that it is very difficult.

Any advice to a potential murder victim??????

Spray the entire patio with gt. She'll never notice.

At least your wife will have somewhere to hide your body now you have a new patio.

I did actually laugh at this.............then nearly booed my eyes out.

Well yes if it needs ripping it up to replace a few slabs she may as well bury me under it at the same time :-(

I'm not sure if any of these will work but I would try

Very hot soapy water
Washing powder, slightly abrasive
White spirit

Assuming is "Patio" a euphamism, what was she doing under the bike naked?

 

[fossyant]

Washing powder, water and a brush. TBH I don't get worried about such things, but a new patio, then you'll be in trouble.

WD-40, cures all known ailments

...when I thought to myeslf that it was a bit odd that the water puddles had not evaporated....

How much!? Were you just pouring GT85 all over your bike?

 

[compo]

Lift the slab and turn it over.

 

[JoeyB]

Buy her some large pot plants...

 

[fossyant]

Lift the slab and turn it over.

He's already under the patio I think !

Washing soda dry sprinkled over the stains then gently dampen it after 30 mins leave for a further half hour then jetwash it off WEAR EYE PROTECTION

Thank!

Been scrubbing it every evening with washing soda and water. It was slowly working.

Gardener turned up Friday and has completely cleaned the patio prior to sealing it and it looks fine. No comment from the gardener so it seems it didn't cause him any problems.

Looks like I might have got away with it!
