It'll give you nightmares, I'm sure. It's not charcoal or juice stains. It's tar. The thing used to seal plugs in your roof, or to pave the road. It's supposed to stick. Stick strong and hard. And this time it chose your carpet.
I was trying to save six hundred dollars to pay my landlord to clean the carpet when I would vacate my place, only till I read on a forum that WD-40 dissolves tar. And, lo and behold, it did! WD-40 is that bluish bottle of lubricant with the characteristic yellow tubular folding nozzle attached to it's spray mouth. You can find it on any hardware store for $6-7, and it will leave your tarred-patches spotless. Literally.
Sleep well tonight.

We got tar on our carpet after getting a new driveway put in. After googling the best way of getting out the stain our chances looked grim. Either posts said it was near impossible to get out or gave ridiculous solutions. I saw this post, decided it was the first thing we would try and it came right up! THANK YOU so much! :)
Great! I know tar stains are scary because the only way out seems to replace your carpet and I'm happy this post came useful.
