I have tree sap on my pants. How do I get it out?
First, read the care label. If the pants say to dry clean, take them to the dry cleaner. If they say that they are washable, you may be able to remove the sap. Remove the stickiness by applying a light-coloured grit-free hand cleaner, like a mechanic uses. Work the hand cleaner in and let it sit for a few minutes. Then work in liquid dish detergent or Sunlight Laundry Bar Soap and rinse thoroughly. Hang up the pants to allow them to dry and look at the stained area when it is dry. If a stain is still there, use a laundry spot stain remover and rinse again. Once the stain is gone, launder the pants as usual. Remember to always test stain removal products on a hidden area of the garment. For other stain removal questions, call ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen and talk to our Customer Advisors.
