Versace is known for their luxurious garments, so finding tar stains on them can be extremely disheartening. The good news is that tar can be removed with right approach. Here are the steps you'll need to follow to make sure stain is completely removed without damaging your Versace piece.

Step 1: Scrape off any excess tar

Using a dull butter knife or other blunt instrument, gently scrape away any excess tar from the fabric. Be sure to take your time and be very gentle with this step as even scraping too hard can cause damage. Once you're done, you should be left with a soft tar residue on the fabric.

Step 2: Apply a cleaning solution

It's important to use a cleaning solution that won't damage fabric of your Versace clothing. A good combination is one quart of warm water, one tablespoon of liquid dish detergent, and one and a half tablespoons of white vinegar. Mix these ingredients together until it forms a paste-like consistency. Apply the paste onto the stained area with a soft brush, making sure to cover the entire area. Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse and dry

Once the paste is done sitting, rinse off the area using cool water. Make sure to remove all of the paste. You may want to repeat the process one more time to ensure that the stain disappears completely. After rinsing, allow garment to air dry. Do not use a dryer or put it in direct sunlight.

Additional Tips

Be sure to test any cleaning solution you use on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment first to make sure it won't cause any discoloration.
See if you can spot clean the garment with a dry-cleaning solvent. If so, make sure to use a clean white cloth and press down firmly.
If the stain still doesn't come out, it's best to take garment to a dry cleaner for professional help.

Conclusion

With these easy steps, you can get rid of tar stains from your Versace garment with ease. In the future, it's best to avoid getting spots of tar on your clothing, as even gentlest of cleaning solutions can cause discoloration or other damage.
