I have often used WD-40 to remove sap from clothing and skin. Normal washing will then remove the wd-40.

RE: Removing Tree Sap from Clothing

I sat in sap in my brand new khaki shorts. I tried the hand sanitizer and it came out instantly. It was great. Thanks for the suggestion. (4/29/07) (04/29/2007)

Yep, the peanut butter works great on a leather coat, pine sap quickly removed from hubby's new jacket, literally worn 20 minutes. Go peanut butter go! (05/25/2007)

RE: Removing Tree Sap from skin, auto or anything other than clothing

If you get sap on your hands or feet, etc. put some cooking oil on it and rub with a paper towel. Wash and you're good as new! (07/16/2007)

I used Goo Gone on my favorite jeans. The goo is now gone. There are instructions on the back for use on clothing. Very easy. (07/18/2007)

RE: Removing Tree Sap from Clothing

My kitten got tree sap all over his back and I read the suggestions and decided what was safe to try, but the first thing I did was rub on some margarine and it worked perfectly, so I didn't get to experiment on him with mayo, or butter, or olive oil. He's too young for alcohol. I wiped it off with a paper towel. (11/08/2007)

Well, I just used some nail polish remover on the sap and it came off in an instant! Nail Polish Remover works really well. (11/24/2007)

Hand Sanitizer works on 100% silk ties. (06/29/2008)

RE: Removing Tree Sap from Clothing

Just got back from a camping trip in Canada with tree sap all over the knees of my best outdoor trousers, tried everything with no real impact, but as I was just about to give up I found a non toxic CD marker erasure pen on my desk. I thought I would give it a try. The stains just vanished leaving my trousers like new. Fantastic! (08/03/2008)

RE: Removing Tree Sap from Clothing

A clean cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol should do the trick. If not, depending on the fabric use Goof Off, you can get it in Walmart. (04/17/2009)

I've heard of using hand sanitizer for tree sap on hands and floors; might work on clothes too. (04/17/2009)

Nail polish remover gets it off very well. Be sure to try and test a hidden corner first. (04/22/2009)

Request: How Do You Remove Tree Sap From Clothes?

Archived on 12/19/2006

My son recently had a play encounter with a Pine tree full of sap and his sweater is full of it. I tried putting it in the freezer to freeze the sap so it would break off like gum does but nothing works. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
TamClou

I had fir tree sap on a nylon jacket and used rubbing alcohol to remove it. I saturated and squeezed the excess from cotton balls, rubbed the areas with the sap and they came right off. (01/04/2005)

RE: How Do You Remove Tree Sap From Clothes?

I sat on an oozing porch railing in a borrowed nylon dress and was horrified to find a big glop on my backside! The wood ooze was sticky and had started to harden by the time I got home. I had borrowed the dress for a wedding.

I used that hand cleaner that mechanics use (Goop?) applied it to the stain and washed and it worked like a charm! No embarrassing confessions to the owner were required. (02/01/2005)

Scott towel with peanut butter, rub on sap stain and it's gone. Wash area with water and liquid soap. Also works on your car. (04/16/2006)

Try using sunscreen! Rub it in then rinse it out. (08/04/2006)

RE: How Do You Remove Tree Sap From Clothes?

My husband had tree sap on his leather jacket. I was afraid alcohol or other chemicals would damage the leather, so I tried rubbing peanut butter on the spots, wiped off with a wet sponge, and all the tree sap disappeared--worked great! (12/09/2006)
