What shall I use to clean car oil off a brick drive - without causing too much harm to my garden?

I was gonna use a flame thrower, but I haven't got one yet . . . .

😉

could try muc-off chain cleaner - seems to break up most oil and is biodegradable in itself. the residue will just go into the sand between the bricks.

it there's loads of oil then cat litter on first to pick up the worst and brush that off before degreasing.

Hire a diesel pressure washer and blast it away on a high heat.
