How do I remove tar off my new carpet?

Cleaning, Stains & Carpet Maintenance · Historic BCC Q&A archive

How to remove tar from a carpet depends on whether it is soft or hardened. If soft, carefully lift excess with a blunt edge; for hardened tar, firming it with ice in a sealed bag can make lifting easier. Always blot spills with a clean white cloth and avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage fibres. Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first and follow the carpet or manufacturer care instructions. For valuable wool or woven carpets, or if residue persists, seek professional cleaning or restoration advice.
