What Cleaning Jobs Is Oil Lift Designed For?

Updated

Oil Lift is a line of super-concentrated cleaning products from Save the Oceans Inc., made for tough oil and grease removal on hard surfaces and in specialized markets. Based on the product information on oillift.net, it is designed for jobs such as removing deeply embedded oil stains from concrete, paving stone, and asphalt, cleaning aircraft surfaces, and handling oil spill clean-up. The same concentrates are also marketed for retail, commercial, construction, hardware, automotive, industrial, aviation, and marine use.

Core cleaning jobs

Driveways, concrete, and paved surfaces

Oil Lift's oil remover is formulated for challenging cleaning jobs, including oil stains that have penetrated into the surface. According to the site, it penetrates the oil and de-bonds it from surfaces like:

  • Concrete
  • Paving stone
  • Asphalt

The website also hosts videos showing how to remove oil stains from a driveway and how to remove oil from concrete, which suggests these are among the primary intended uses. Professional cleaning companies use it for demanding commercial and residential applications.

Aviation cleaning

The aviation cleaner is described as an industrial-strength concentrate that can clean any type of aircraft requiring a cleaner that conforms to Boeing D6-17487 revision P standards. For painted surfaces, the stated dilution is 60 parts water. A 20 L pail can be diluted into a 205 L drum for regular cleaning.

Oil spill clean-up

Oil spill clean-up is listed as another application area, alongside the driveway and aviation uses highlighted on the homepage.

Beyond the obvious jobs

The site notes that all Oil Lift products have numerous secondary uses. Once users discover what a product can clean, they reportedly start applying it to other things, which has led to new ideas and markets. In practice, that means the intended use is not limited to the headline jobs — the concentrate format supports dilution and adaptation across different cleaning tasks.

What to check before buying

  • Surface compatibility: The oil remover is described for concrete, paving stone, and asphalt. Test on a small area first if you plan to use it on other materials.
  • Dilution: The aviation cleaner requires dilution (60 parts water for painted surfaces). Follow the stated ratio rather than using it neat.
  • Standard compliance: If you need an aviation cleaner, confirm that the Boeing D6-17487 revision P conformance matches your requirement.
  • Availability: The company is expanding through distributor partners in North America and internationally. Check the "Where To Buy" section on oillift.net for current retail and distributor options.
