How to Get an Antifreeze Stain Off the Driveway

Antifreeze on your driveway is not only unsightly, it can be a danger to pets. The sweet taste of poisonous antifreeze is an appealing snack for your four-legged friends. Antifreeze dissolves in water unlike motor oil, so cleanup is easier. Remove an antifreeze stain from your driveway the right way to prevent damage to the driveway surface in the process.
