Instructions

- Grab a bowl and mix together 1 tablespoon of dish soap with 1/2 cup of warm water.
- Using a soft-bristled brush, gently scrub the tar stain with the soapy mixture.
- Once you’ve scrubbed tar stain, you’ll want to rinse the area with cold water.
- Repeat the scrubbing and rinsing until the stain is gone.
- Lay the backpack out on an old towel and allow it to air dry.
Tips And Warnings

- Be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions when dealing with any cleaning products as some may damage the surface or colour of the backpack.
