The first step in cleaning tar stains from Onitsuka Tigers is to pre-treat the affected area. You can do this by rubbing some baking soda onto stain and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. This will help break down the tar so that it’s easier to remove.
Once the pre-treatment is finished, you'll need to use a cleaning solution to remove the remaining tar. You can use mild dish soap and warm water, or an enzyme cleaner specifically designed for grease and oil. Apply the solution to a clean cloth or sponge and gently scrub the affected area.
Finally, rinse the area with cold water and pat dry using a soft cloth. Be sure to check the fabric for any remaining tar stains, and if necessary repeat the process until the stains are completely removed. Once done, allow your Onitsuka Tigers to air dry.
Now you know how to easily remove stubborn tar stains from your Onitsuka Tigers! With just a few simple steps, you can get your favorite pair of shoes back to looking brand new. Just remember to be gentle with your cleaning and never use harsh chemicals that might damage the materials.
