Removing tree sap from suede is a tricky task and needs to be done carefully. Here is the step-by-step guide of how you should clean up tree sap from suede:
Step 1: Identify the stained area
The first step to removing tree sap from suede is to identify the stained area. You’ll need to do this before you start cleaning, as this will help you decide which cleaning method to use.
Step 2: Brush off any dirt and debris
Once you’ve identified the stained area, you’ll need to brush off any dirt or debris that may have been left behind by the tree sap. You can use a soft-bristle brush to do this, but be careful not to rub too hard as this could damage the suede fabric.
Step 3: Apply a Cleaning Solution
Next, you’ll need to apply a cleaning solution to the stained area. Vinegar and water is a good option as it can help loosen the tree sap and make it easier to remove. Simply mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a bowl, dip a cloth into it, and dab the stained area with the solution.
Step 4: Rinse and Dry the Suede
Once the solution has been applied, rinse and dry the suede. Use a damp cloth to rinse the stained area, then leave it to air dry. Do not put the suede in a tumble dryer as this could cause heat damage.
Step 5: Apply a Leather Conditioner
The final step is to apply a leather conditioner to suede. This will help to restore some of the oils that were removed during the cleaning process, helping to preserve the fabric. Simply rub a small amount of conditioner into the suede using a soft cloth.
Following these steps will help ensure that the tree sap stain is completely removed from your suede fabric. However, if the stain does not come out after following these steps, it is best to take the item to a professional cleaner for further assistance.
