How to remove diesel stains from concrete

[Doing it for the kids]

im not happy, nice new yard and the usual suspect has managed to spill diesal over about 30m2.

We put some dry wood chip down which has helped but inevitably the stench remains. I imagine it’s too late for spill kits and the like.

Any advice welcome!

If outside it does clear itself in time. I had an oil spill in the yard from a failed pipe and that cleared after six months or so.

Have some in a shed which is harder to shift though.

I’ve used TFR sprayed neat in black oil patches then jet washed works ok

Might be just as easy to give the rest of the yard a dusting..........or just pretend it’s not there.

Spill some more on rest of concrete so it matches.
Sorry couldn't resist

30m2 is a big area. How much diesel?
