Removing Tar Using Peanut Butter
An effective way of removing tar from your boots is by using peanut butter. Simply rub a small amount of the peanut butter directly onto the tar until it’s completely covered. Let the peanut butter sit on the surface of tar for 5-10 minutes, then scrub it off with a clean, damp cloth. The tar should come off easily.
Removing Tar with Vinegar
Vinegar is another effective tool for removing tar stains. Soak a cloth in white vinegar and apply it directly to the stain, making sure to cover it completely. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub the tar away with the cloth. Repeat this process if needed.
Protecting Your Boots from Future Stains
After you’ve removed the tar, it’s important to take measures to protect your boots from future stains. Apply a waterproof spray or wax to keep your boots from getting wet and stained. This will help keep your boots looking clean and new.
