What You Need:
- Dish soap
- Cloth
- Soft-bristled brush
- Rubbing alcohol
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
- Olive oil
Step by Step guide:
- Apply dish soap. Start by applying a small amount of dish soap directly onto the area where the tree sap is located. Gently scrub the stained area with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush.
- Rinse with water. Rinse the area with warm water to remove any remaining soap residue.
- Treat with rubbing alcohol. If stain persists, dampen a cloth or cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and dab the affected area. Let the rubbing alcohol sit for a few minutes before wiping away with a soft cloth.
- Create a baking soda paste. Combine baking soda and water to create a paste and apply to the stained area. Scrub gently with a brush and then rinse with water.
- Spot treat with vinegar. Vinegar can be used to spot treat any remaining stains. Dab a cloth or cotton ball in white vinegar and dab onto the stained area. Let sit for several minutes before rinsing with warm water.
- Condition with olive oil. To keep your pumps looking and feeling their best, condition the area with a few drops of olive oil. Buff the oil into the leather or fabric with a clean cloth.
