|
when I was a kid my mom used vinegar or alcohol... I can't remember
which... to take the tar off us when we got dirty in it.

2729.2 | It takes make-up off (isn't that like tar?) | MSBIS1::SADLER | | Thu Aug 03 1989 18:11 | 3 |
| Try cold cream (i.e. face cream). If it doesn't take it out,
it will at least soften their pads a bit. I wouldn't use anything
harsh on them. It will eventually come off by itself.

| Use anything that is oil based that's edible (cooking oil or mineral
oil). You want to try black tar on a black cat with black pads....oh
did we have fun. I even cut some of it off on the fur between the
toes. The mineral oil worked real well for us when our cat walked on
a foundation that had just been tarred.

| re: .4 My goodness! Is there no end of uses for Avon SSS!
I recently found out that it makes a good insect repellant too!!
Amazing stuff! Wonder if it gets stains out of my husband's
shirts too ;-)

It probably does. I heard that it works wonders on blood stains!
