Technique 1: Rubbing Alcohol

Rubbing alcohol is a great way to remove tree sap stains from mesh. To use this method, simply apply undiluted rubbing alcohol directly to the sap stain and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then scrub the stain with an old toothbrush to loosen it up, followed by rinsing the area with lukewarm water. Finally, dry the material completely with a soft rag.

Technique 2: Duct Tape

Duct tape is another effective technique for removing tree sap stains from mesh. Simply press the duct tape firmly onto the stain and slowly peel it off. This will extract some of the sap as you go. You may need to repeat this process a few times to remove all of the sap.

Technique 3: Freezing

If other two methods don't work, try freezing the sap stain. Place mesh in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then take it out and scrape off the sap using a dull knife. This should break up the stubborn sap, making it easier to remove.

Conclusion

Removing tree sap stains from mesh can be a challenge, but with the right technique it doesn’t have to be. Try one of the methods above the next time you find yourself needing to get rid of a sap stain on mesh.
