Instructions
- Put your T-shirt on a sturdy, flat surface and scrape off any excess tar using something like an old credit card or a butter knife.
- Apply a few drops of dishwashing liquid onto the stain. Make sure that you use a mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
- Dab the area gently, using a soft cloth or a sponge. Do not rub the area vigorously, as this can cause the tar to spread further.
