You’ll need a few simple items for cleaning tar stains out of your pillows:
If the stain is still wet, it’s important to take action as soon as possible. Remove any excess tar by blotting it with paper towels. For larger spots, a soft-bristled brush can be helpful.
Mix together 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent or dish soap with 1 cup of warm water. You can also add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar if desired.
Before applying the solution to the stained area, it’s important to test it on an inconspicuous part of the pillowcase. This helps ensure that the colors don’t run while cleaning.
Using a sponge or cloth, gently apply the solution to stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry.
If stain persists, you may need to repeat the process a few times before the spot is completely gone. It’s also a good idea to follow up with a laundry detergent or spot cleaner specifically designed for removing tar stains.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
