How to get sap off clothing !

Moogles Smith · 23 Mar 20, 03:14 PM

We had some sleepers put in the garden last year which have started to leak sap and being fairly low level its the perfect height for our 2 year old to stand up against ! and yes his outdoor playsuit is now covered in spots of sap !

Any ideas on how to remove?

I think the removal of chewing gum idea might work on sap. Freeze it in a bag in the freezer or cover with ice cubes. Then scrape the offending gunge off, rub with washing up liquid and then wash at the hottest temp. suited to the material.

Rub undiluted washing up liquid into it, it may take a few attempts, I had this a few months ago when DH was moving tree branches.
