Tree sap stains are caused by the drip of raw sap from trees and other plants. The sticky liquid is made of sugar, amino acids and proteins, and it hardens when it dries.
To remove tree sap stains from silk habotai fabric, the first step is to try and scrape away as much of sap as possible with a blunt knife. Then, use a mixture of lukewarm water and white vinegar to wet the sap.
Next, rub a small amount of laundry detergent into the sap. Finally, use a soft cloth to gently dab at the stain. Change the cloth and continue dabbing until the sap has been lifted away.
When all of the sap has been removed, rinse the fabric with cool water and then blot it dry with a clean towel.
It's important to act quickly when dealing with tree sap stains on silk habotai fabric, as the longer it sits, the harder it will be to remove. Use the tips above to get rid of sap stains quickly and easily.
