Use paper towels or a soft cloth to gently blot stain. Do not rub or scrub the fabric as this may cause damage. Be sure to use a dry towel to remove as much of the sap as possible.
Once you have blotted away excess sap, apply a cleaning solution to the area. You can use a mild laundry detergent, dish soap, vinegar, and water. Mix one teaspoon of detergent or dish soap with a cup of warm water and add a tablespoon of white vinegar. Make sure to test this solution in an inconspicuous spot first. Gently massage the solution into fabric and let it sit for five minutes.
Rinse the soap solution off of the fabric with cold water. Blot the area with a dry towel to remove any moisture.
Allow the fabric to air dry. Do not use a hair dryer, as this may cause shrinkage or damage to the material.
Once the fabric has completely dried, spot test the area with a damp cloth to make sure stain has been removed. If there is still a mark present, repeat steps 1-4 until the stain is gone.
Tree sap stains can be a real chore to clean but they don’t have to be if you follow the steps outlined above. With a few simple steps, you can restore your Kate Spade back to its former glory and eliminate unsightly sap stains.
