Tree sap stains may seem difficult to remove, but don't worry — you can get rid of them in no time with a few simple steps.
What You Need
- An orangewood stick
- A few cotton balls
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Towels
Instructions: Step 1
Using an orangewood stick, try removing as much of tree sap off the anorak as possible. Be gentle and do not scrape, as this could damage the fabric.
Instructions: Step 2
Soak a few cotton balls in white vinegar and blot the stained area gently. Do not rub or scrub, as this can cause the stained area to spread.
Instructions: Step 3
Allow the vinegar to work for at least 10 minutes, then rinse off anorak with water.
Instructions: Step 4
Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the stained area. Allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes, then rinse it off with water and a damp cloth.
Instructions: Step 5
If any tree sap stain remains, repeat Steps 2 to 4.
Instructions: Step 6
Once all the tree sap is gone, wash the anorak as you would normally.
Instructions: Step 7
Dry the anorak on a flat surface. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, as this may cause the stain to set permanently.
And Done!
Congratulations! Your anorak is free from tree sap stains.
