What You'll Need

- Old toothbrush

Step 1: Scrape Away Excess Tar
If you have a lot of tar stuck on the surface, grab an old toothbrush and start gently scrubbing away at it. Make sure to be careful so you don’t damage or scratch the fabric. Keep going until no more tar is coming off.
Step 2: Mix a Cleaning Solution
Create a cleaning solution by adding a few drops of dish soap or laundry detergent to some warm water. Next, add one tablespoon of white vinegar and two tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3: Apply and Gently Scrub
Immerse a microfiber cloth in cleaning solution and apply it to the stain. Start scrubbing gently with the cloth or an old toothbrush, making sure not to press too hard or use too much force. Keep going until all the tar is gone.
Step 4: Rinse and Repeat If Necessary
If the stain does not come out after first cleaning, try repeating Steps 2 and 3. You can also try adding some baking soda to cleaning solution. After you’re done scrubbing, rinse off cleaning solution with a damp cloth.
