It was a day or evening you would just as soon forget and to make it even worse, you somehow managed to get tar, asphalt or some other equally nasty parking lot or car gunk on your favorite dress. Before you decide to throw that sexy dress in the trash, you  might try one of these tar and asphalt stain removal techniques.

First, rub the area with ice and carefully scrape off what you can with the dull edge of a butter knife. Next, saturate the area with an aerosol pretreatment laundry stain remover. Give it time to penetrate the stain as well as the fabric. Keep in mind that it will soak through the fabric faster than it will soak through the stained area. Once the area has soaked through, rub the area with a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent and launder immediately. We have also found that dish soap specially formulated to cut grease will often work too.
If the color stain remains, launder in chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric, or in all-fabric bleach. Always check for color fastness first. For extra heavy stains, apply dry cleaning fluid to the back of the stain over absorbent paper towels. Let it dry. Then, rinse thoroughly and proceed as above. Read the product label and proceed carefully when using dry cleaning fluid, it is extremely flammable!
