Tree sap stains are one of more difficult stains to remove from chiffon fabric. Luckily, there are methods that can help get rid of the mess and make your apparel look good as new. Here are some tips for cleaning tree sap stains from chiffon:

  • Gently scrape off as much of the sap as possible from the surface of the chiffon with a plastic knife.
  • Soak the affected area in warm water with a few drops of liquid detergent for about 15 minutes.
  • Rinse area and dab it dry with a clean cloth.
  • Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area again with warm water and mild detergent.
  • Allow the area to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

If stain remains after the above steps, try using a commercial solvent or pre-treatment product specifically designed for chiffon fabrics. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully and take care not to damage the fabric or discolor it. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the affected area until the stain is gone. Afterward, wash the area with mild detergent and cold water.

If you have a stubborn tree sap stain on your chiffon fabric, you can try spot-cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or acetone. Test a small, hidden area of the fabric first to make sure it won’t damage the material. If the area shows no signs of discoloration or damage, then go ahead and use product to treat the stain. Just be sure to keep it away from your skin and clothes.

Keeping tree sap out of your chiffon garments is best way to prevent stains. Be sure to store your chiffon clothing away from any trees and other plants in your home or garden. Additionally, avoid wearing your chiffon when working around trees and plants.
