Tree Sap on Your Clothes? No Problem! 🌲👕

Hiking in the woods is both relaxing & wonderful, but sometimes you might accidentally get tree sap on your clothes from trees & bushes. Sap is sticky & can be difficult to remove, but with the right methods, it's easy! We at Brandosa love being outdoors, & that's why we've gathered our best tips for removing sap stains from jackets, pants & other garments. So the next time you get sap on your clothes, you don't need to worry - just follow our advice & enjoy the great outdoors without any hassle! 🙌

1. Freeze the Sap Off ❄️

One of the easiest ways to remove sap is to freeze the garment. Put the clothes in a plastic bag & place them in the freezer for a few hours. When the sap has hardened, it becomes brittle & you can easily scrape it off with a knife or spoon. Just be careful not to damage the fabric!

This works best on thicker materials like jeans & jackets. If you've gotten sap on delicate garments, try one of the other methods instead.

2. Use Rubbing Alcohol 💧

Rubbing alcohol, also known as isopropyl alcohol, is effective against stubborn stains like sap. Pour some rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad & gently dab the sap stain. Let it sit for a few minutes before washing the garment as usual.

Remember to always test on a small, hidden part of the garment first to make sure the fabric doesn't discolor or get damaged. Certain sensitive materials like silk & wool should not be treated with rubbing alcohol.

3. Try Butter or Oil 🧈

Does it sound weird to rub sap stains with butter or cooking oil? The fact is that the fat dissolves the sap & makes it easier to remove! Smear the stain with a little butter, margarine, or oil & let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then scrape off the sap with a knife or fingernail. Wash the clothes in warm water to remove the grease.

This method works best on small stains & durable materials. Avoid using it on delicate fabrics that easily get grease stains.

Tip! Try using coconut oil, it has a refreshing scent & makes your clothes soft & comfortable! 🥥😍

4. Soak in Soap & Warm Water 🧼🌡️

Another trick is to soak the sap-stained garment in a tub of warm water & some liquid soap or dish detergent. Let it soak for a few hours or overnight. Then gently scrub off the sap with a brush or sponge. Machine wash the clothes afterwards.

Soaking is a gentle method that works for most fabrics. Just make sure the water isn't too hot if you have delicate materials like wool.

5. Wash with Coarse Salt 🧂

Did you know that regular table salt can be used to remove sap? Sprinkle a layer of salt on the sap stain & gently rub with a damp cloth or brush. The salt acts as an abrasive & helps dissolve & remove the sap from the fabric.

Brush off the salt & then machine wash the garment as usual. The salt method is simple & effective, but be a little careful with sensitive fabrics so you don't scratch them.
