To begin removing tree sap from a pillow, use a dull knife or spoon to carefully scrape away any excess tree sap. This step is important because it will help to prevent the stain from spreading.
Once you’ve scraped off the sap, apply a commercial stain remover to the sap stain. Let product sit on the stain for one to two minutes before proceeding to the next step.
After the stain remover has had time to work, use a clean cloth to wipe off any remaining residue from the pillow. Be sure to use gentle strokes, taking care not to rub the stain too hard or it may spread.
Next, rinse off the stain remover with warm water. Use a sponge or rag and gently dab the area until all traces of the stain remover are gone. Then, allow the pillow to air dry completely.
When the pillow is completely dry, launder it according to the instructions on the fabric care label. Be sure to use cold water and a mild detergent or special stain remover.
