Tree sap is one of stickiest substances on earth – and it's no surprise we often find it at the bottom of our sports bras after a long, fun day spent outdoors. Fortunately, there are a few easy techniques to remove these tree sap stains which require minimal effort and time.

The most popular and effective method to remove tree sap from your sports bras is by using a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Begin by preparing a diluted solution of approximately 1 teaspoon of dish soap per cup of warm water. To start, dab the stained area with the solution and use a gentle rubbing motion with a soft cloth or brush to lightly scrub the tree sap. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse it with cold water. You may have to repeat this a few times to completely remove the stain.
If that doesn't seem to do the trick, you can try rubbing a small amount of petroleum jelly onto the affected area. Make sure to leave the jelly on the fabric for up to an hour before washing it off with warm water. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
Finally, if the above two methods do not work, consider investing in a specialised cleaning solution for delicates. Be sure to apply cleaning solution according to the instructions on the bottle before washing it as normal.
