Step 1: Scrape Off Any Excess Sap with a Knife

Start by gently scrapiing off any excess tree sap with a dull knife. Try to scrape away as much as possible without pushing the sap further into the fabric. Be careful not to spread it around the surrounding area.

Step 2: Rub Alcohol onto the Stain

Once you have removed any excess sap, wet a cotton ball or cloth with rubbing alcohol and rub it onto the stained area. This will help dissolve the sap and make it easier to remove from the fabric.

Step 3: Gently Brush Away the Dissolved Sap

Take a clean, dry brush and gently brush away dissolved sap. Do not use a rough brush or scrub too hard, as this could damage the fabric. Once sap has been removed, rinse the area with cold water.

Step 4: Treat the Area with a Stain Remover

If you can still see some residue from the tree sap, treat the area with a stain remover. Use a product specifically designed for delicates, such as Woolite Gentle Cycle, and follow the instructions on the package.

Step 5: Wash the Garment According to Tag Instructions

Finally, wash the garment according to the tag instructions. Avoid drying the garment until you are sure the stain is gone, as heat can set the stain permanently.

Conclusion

Tree sap stains can be tricky to remove, but with a few simple steps, you can get rid of them without damaging your Dolce & Gabbana garments. Start by scraping off any excess sap with a knife, then use rubbing alcohol to dissolve the stain. Gently brush away the sap, then treat the area with a stain remover and finally wash the garment according to the tag instructions.
