Removing Tree Sap Stains from T-Shirts
Tree sap can be a bit of a nuisance as it sticks to almost everything it touches. From clothes to furniture, tree sap can leave a sticky mess and can be difficult to remove. Fortunately, tree sap stains don’t have to be permanent. Here are some tips for removing tree sap stains from T-shirts:
- Fill a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar.
- Spray the stained area liberally and let the vinegar sit for a few minutes.
- Gently rub the stained area with a clean cloth to loosen the sap.
- Rinse the shirt with cold water and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain is gone.
- If the stain is still present, dampen the fabric with rubbing alcohol and use a soft brush to scrub the stain.
- Rinse the shirt with cold water again and let it air dry.
- Once the shirt is completely dry, run a warm iron over the area to remove any remaining residue.
With these steps, you can easily remove tree sap stains from your T-shirts. Keep in mind that this method may not work for all fabrics, so make sure to test it on an inconspicuous part of the garment first.
