If tar has stained your paver or concrete surfaces, it can be hard to remove. However, with the right approach and tools, you can get rid of those marks in no time.
The initial step is to use cold water to remove as much tar as possible. For this, you need to fill a bucket with cold water and pour it directly over the tar-stained area. Don't forget to use a tough scrub brush to scrub surface. This will help to remove as much tar as possible before moving onto next step.
After using cold water, you should apply a commercial cleaner specifically designed for tar removal. Apply the cleaner to the area and then scrub vigorously until the tar is completely gone. Depending on the extent of the tar stains you may need to re-apply cleaner several times.
Once you have successfully removed the tar, you should rinse area with cold water. Make sure to remove all the cleaner residue. Let the area dry completely before proceeding further.
Finally, you need to seal the surface to prevent future tar stain problems. For this, you need to purchase a sealant specific to the type of paver or concrete surface you have. Apply the sealant according to the manufacturer's instructions and allow it to dry completely before using the surface.
Tar stains can be difficult to remove from pavers and concrete surfaces, but with the right approach and materials, you can easily take care of the issue. Be sure to follow the steps outlined above for best results.
