Step 1: Pre-Treat with Laundry Detergent
The first thing you want to do is pretreat the tar stain with laundry detergent. Begin by turning the fabric inside out and applying the detergent directly onto the stain. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the detergent into fabric until the stain has been evenly covered.
Step 2: Spray Vinegar on the Stain
Now, spray some white vinegar onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes before blotting the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel. The vinegar will help to loosen tar so that it can be removed more easily.
Step 3: Wash Garment
Place garment in the washing machine and choose a hot water cycle. Add a small amount of laundry detergent and let washing machine run its cycle. After the cycle has finished, check to see if the tar stain is gone. If it's still there, you may need to repeat steps one and two before washing it again.
Step 4: Stop the Stain from Setting In
If the tar stain is still present after washing, try to soak the garment in a solution of equal parts water and vinegar for at least 30 minutes. This should help to break down tar and allow it to be washed away. After soaking the garment, rewash it in the washing machine using a hot water cycle.
Conclusion
Removing tar stains from Tommy Hilfiger apparel may seem daunting, but it can be done with a few simple steps. Remember to pre-treat the stain with laundry detergent, then spray white vinegar on the affected area. From there, you can either let garment soak in a solution of water and vinegar or throw it in the washing machine. If you follow these steps, you should be able to get your Tommy Hilfiger back to its original condition in no time.
