Re: Concrete
Yes, it's probably soaked in. It looks like your only solution will be a heavy duty floor paint.

Re: Concrete
Hi John, I keep a bag of cement in the garage. Best used immediately after the spill, but might work even after some time. Spread a little on the stain, grind it in with your boot, and leave for a couple of days. Then sweep up, or preferably wash away. It should make a noticeable difference.

Re: Concrete
Cat litter works well on fresh spills. Might be a challenge on an ingrained stain though.

Re: Concrete
Pour a strong spirit into the stain, the stronger the better, the sort of thing that you can’t get anymore because it rots your lungs. Then before it evaporates cover it with cat litter. The spirit breaks down the stain then the litter lifts it out.
Colin,
