Removing Tar Stains from Fabric Coats
If you have a tar stain on a fabric coat, you will need a few simple items to get the job done. You will need a cup of cool water, two tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent, and a white cloth or sponge. Start by moistening the white cloth or sponge with the cool water. Add the two tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent and then gently scrub stained area, working soapy solution and water together. After a few minutes of scrubbing, rinse off the affected area with cool water. Repeat as needed until the stain is no longer visible.
Removing Tar Stains from Leather Coats
If you have a leather coat with a tar stain, you will need a few different items to get the job done. You will need a white cloth, a mild laundry detergent, and a leather cleaner. Start by dampening the white cloth with the mild laundry detergent. Gently scrub stained area with detergent-dampened cloth. After a few minutes of scrubbing, rinse off the affected area with cool water. If the stain persists, you can use a leather cleaner to help. Follow the instructions on the cleaner to remove the stain from the leather coat.
Protecting Your Coats from Tar Stains
One of best ways to avoid having to deal with tar stains is to take steps to protect your coats. Before you wear your coats, consider applying a protective coating. This could be a fabric protector or a leather conditioner, depending on the type of coat you have. You can also use a waterproofing spray to protect the material and repel any tar or other stains. These products are easy to apply and can help keep your coats looking like new.
