    I think you can find tar remover in a good motor factors, sometimes it builds up on cars etc so this stuff breaks it down so you can wipe it away.

    Sounds like you have a lot of tar sprayed around the house so it might be too expensive to go to a motor factors.

    You could try using a alternative solution that could break down the tar, I am guessing you could use petrol or white spirits although I have never tried it on tar. Petrol is a great substance for dissolving glue etc so maybe give it a go, put some petrol on a cloth and rub it over the tar area to see if it works. As you know petrol's extremely flammable so be careful and wear gloves.
