Gather Your Supplies

Before you start, make sure you have the following supplies: a soft-bristled brush, clean cloths, a bucket of warm water, laundry detergent, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, nail polish remover, and a vacuum.

Brush Area

Using the soft-bristled brush, gently loosen any tar particles that are stuck to fabric of your purse. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this could damage the fabric. If the tar has dried, you may need to use a bit more force.

Soak the Area

Once you've loosened up the tar, use a clean cloth to soak the stained area with warm water. This will help to rehydrate the tar particles and make them easier to remove. Let the area sit for 10 minutes before proceeding.

Clean the Area

Once the area has soaked, use a mild laundry detergent to spot-clean the stain. You can also try using rubbing alcohol, dish soap, or nail polish remover. Use a clean cloth to dab and scrub until the stain is no longer visible. If needed, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

Vacuum the Area

Finally, use a vacuum to remove any remaining tar particles that are stuck in fabric. This will help to prevent stain from reappearing or causing any damage to the purse.

Conclusion

Tar stains are notoriously difficult to remove, but with the right approach and supplies, it can be done without damaging or discoloring the fabric of your purse. With these cleaning tips, you can easily get rid of even the most stubborn tar stains.
