hi, to remove from washing machine wipe the area in linseed oil wait a few minutes for the tar to soften then wipe with a clean cloth.


To removed from fabric rub the area with red diesel then wash.
go to an auto parts store, like Pep Boys. they sell a tar remover in a spray bottle and in a regular bottle. It takes some elbow grease, but works.
Simple Green and patience. I had to remove a type of sealing tar, similar to roofing tar, and #6 fuel oil from my Carhartts. I found peeling the heavy tar off and pretreating them with pure Simple Green works. I have also soaked them in a bucket with a 50/50 mix of water and Simple Green to take out really thick stuff. If I soak them, I usually double rinse them to remove all of the soap.
