Get Rid of Tar Stains on Twill in No Time

Tar stains can be a real menace on twill fabrics. Their oil-based nature makes them difficult to remove and stubbornly cling to fabric. But with the right technique, you can restore your fabric back to its original glory in no time.

What You Need

• Fresh dishwashing liquid (not bleach)
• White vinegar
• Paper towels
• Soft toothbrush

Instructions

1. Mix 2 teaspoons of dishwashing liquid with ¼ cup of white vinegar.
2. Soak a paper towel in the mixture and gently dab tar stain on the twill fabric.
3. Allow the solution to sit for 10 minutes.
4. Gently rub the affected area with a soft toothbrush to loosen up tar residue.
5. Rinse the area with cold water.
6. Repeat as needed until the stain is completely removed.

Precautions

• Never scrub the stain vigorously as it can damage the fabric more.
• Never use hot water as it can cause the stain to set into fabric.
• Test a small area of fabric first to make sure the solution does not affect the material.
• Do not tumble dry the fabric before the stain is removed as this may set the stain permanently.
