Removing Tar Stains Step-by-Step
- Begin by scraping any excess tar off of the fabric with a spoon.
- Soak the stained area in cold water for several minutes to help loosen any remaining tar. If stain is old and dried on, you may need to soak the fabric for up to an hour or overnight.
- Gently rub a liquid detergent directly onto the stain, then rinse the fabric in cold water. Be sure to use a gentle detergent so as not to cause any further damage to the fabric.
- If the stain still remains, gently rub a little bit of rubbing alcohol on it and then rinse the fabric again in cold water.
- If the stain is still there, you can try treating it with a teaspoon of ammonia and a cup of water, then rinse it with cold water.
- Once stain is gone, hang the pants up to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Tips For Preventing Tar Stains
