Pond's Cold Cream. That's right. The same cold cream that I clean my face and remove my makeup with melted tar off my feet and off of my Crocs beach clogs with no staining. I used turpentine first on one of the 6 spots that plagued me. It was not coming off easily and I was tired and frustrated. I spotted my Pond's and thought it couldn't hurt and it came off so fast it amazed me. Now I need to rethink my skin cream.

I grew up in Satellite Beach, Florida, during the 1960's. We would go home and remove the tar with turpentine and a rag. Next, using the outside hose and a bar of soap, wash all the turpentine off. -

I used olive oil on my son's skin and on the leather furniture. Worked like a charm!

Get some WD-40 and some paper towels. Spray the WD-40 on the tar, let stand for 10 seconds, then wipe vigorously with a paper towel. Repeat above steps until you removed all the tar. Then wash the area with soap and water. This will take about 2 minutes to get done.

I searched my house and couldn't find baby oil, but I did find some mineral oil, and rubbed that into the tar with a rag and it came off with some light scrubbing.

If you want to get rid of beach tar; get some baby oil and a rag and you'll have clean soft feet.

Avon Skin so Soft works perfectly in getting tar and "working on the car" greases and oils and dirt. What I usually do is work it into my hands first. This breaks down the tar or whatever. Then I use just regular soap.

I used to work at an industrial medical clinic. They kept mayonnaise in the fridge for just this purpose. Takes it right off.

Following attempts of surgical soap, nail varnish remover and scratching/scrubbing off, 50/50 cream (the soft and liquid paraffin used for eczema patients) worked a treat. We simply covered the affected areas with the cream, and then covered these with TubiGrip bandages, and left to soak. Two or so hours later, the tar simply rubbed off. Some areas needed longer, with liberal application, but this is an easy, painless and effective method.

We were on vacation, and I got tar on my foot. We knew that baby oil worked, but we didn't have any. So we thought that maybe tanning oil would work - and it did! Voil!

We get tar from the beach here in Bermuda. Rub some mayonnaise on it and it absolutely works. A little smelly, but totally works!

When we were kids, we used butter to remove tar. Now, I don't remember if it was margarine (stick kind) or butter. This was back in the 50's. But it worked well.
