[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Hi - hoping there may be someone who can help.
My partner is on the committee of a pre-school group, who are a Charity. They use a community centre during the mornings. Part of the grounds includes a tarmac car park, which for the pre-school period is gated off and used as part of an outdoor play area.
The inevitable has happened and a car has leaked oil onto the tarmac. Various people have been getting into a tizzy because of this, and while they have been told unofficially that it is not harmful, no one has yet agreed to put this in writing.
They have been told that the only way to remove the stain is to dig up the section, and resurface with a quote of £1,500 which sounds expensive, when another car could then come along and repeat the oil leak.
Does anyone have any ideas? are there specialist products available to clean this? or is there any way to coat the tarmac in a anti-oil covering, which would still be durable enough to take cars, but also safe for the kids?
Grateful for any help
