Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
You will need the following supplies: a small bowl, white vinegar, a spoon, a sponge, liquid dish soap, and a soft cloth.
Step 2: Soak the Stain
In the small bowl, mix together half a cup of white vinegar and two tablespoons of liquid dish soap. Dip the sponge into the mixture and soak scarf in it for around 10 minutes. Make sure that the solution covers the entire stain.
Step 3: Scrub Stain
When the soaking is finished, use the sponge to scrub the area gently. Dip it back into mixture as needed. Keep scrubbing until stain has been completely removed.
Step 4: Rinse the Scarf
Once stain has disappeared, rinse the scarf with cold water and wring it out. You may want to rinse multiple times to make sure that all the soap and vinegar has been removed from the fabric.
Step 5: Dry the Scarf
Finally, lay the scarf flat on a towel and let it air dry overnight. Make sure to avoid using direct heat, such as a hairdryer, as this can damage the fabric.
Conclusion
Now you know how to easily remove tree sap stains from your scarf! With the right supplies and a bit of elbow grease, you’ll have your scarf looking as good as new in no time.
