Dish soap
White vinegar
A toothbrush
Clean cloths

Step 1: Soak Stain in Rubbing Alcohol

If the sap has hardened on your Under Armour fabric, first use a dry cloth to brush away as much as possible before beginning treatment. Once you’ve removed as much of the sap as you can, pour a generous amount of rubbing alcohol onto the affected area. Let the garment soak for a few minutes before continuing.

Step 2: Clean with Cotton Swabs

Once the Under Armour fabric has soaked, take a cotton swab and dip it into the rubbing alcohol. Gently rub and scrub away the remaining sap stain with swab. Be careful not to damage fabric of the Under Armour. While the sap should lift away with the rubbing alcohol, you may need to repeat this process several times to completely remove stain.

Step 3: Rinse with Water

After you’ve finished scrubbing away the sap residue with the rubbing alcohol and cotton swab, rinse Under Armour fabric with cold water. This will help get rid of any residual residue.

Step 4: Launder the Under Armour Fabric

Now that you’ve removed the sap with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab, it’s time to launder the fabric. Use a mild dish soap and white vinegar to create a cleaning solution. Once you’ve mixed the soapy solution, dip a toothbrush in it and apply it to stained area. Gently scrub the area with the toothbrush for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Step 5: Inspect and Wash Again

Once you’ve finished scrubbing with soapy solution, inspect the Under Armour fabric to see if the sap stain is completely gone. If it’s still there, repeat steps 1-4 until the stain is removed. Once you’re satisfied with the results, toss the Under Armour fabric in the laundry and wash as normal.
