Removing Tree Sap Stains
The best way to remove tree sap stains from a robe is to first identify the type of material it is made from. Different fabrics require different methods of cleaning. If the robe is machine-washable, check the fabric label for instructions, as some may need to be treated with a specific fabric softener or detergent before washing. Generally speaking, if the robe is washed in regular detergent, the temperature should be set to warm.
Once the robe is washed, inspect it for any remaining tree sap stains. If the stains remain, then additional treatment may be needed. To treat stubborn sap stains on a machine-washable robe, gently rub a bar of soap onto the stain, or apply a spot cleaner specifically formulated for removing tree sap. For delicate fabrics, consider using an enzyme detergent or oxygen bleach.
If the robe is not machine-washable, then use a damp cloth or paper towel to dab the stained area. Once the excess sap has been removed, use a cotton swab or toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently scrub away the remaining sap residue. Be sure to rinse robe well afterwards.
Preventing Stains
If you find yourself in a situation where tree sap might get onto your robe, you can take steps to protect it. One way to do this is to wear a shirt under your robe to prevent the sap from coming into contact with the fabric. If it does come into contact with the robe, quickly remove it using a damp cloth or paper towel. You should also avoid wearing bright-colored robes in areas with trees, as sap will be more visible on them.
