Rubbing alcohol does the trick. Don't wet the clothes, use rubbing alcohol until the sap is gone, then wash. It works everytime for me - we used to have 3 pine trees and my son always liked to play around them and get sap on his clothes.

try stain remover first if that doesn't work, try rubbing alocohal. Don't wash or dry it until it's out.

Hi L.,

Goo Gone should do the trick for you. It will get the sap out but then you hae to pretreat the area with your laundry soap prior to washing it to get all the Goo Gone out. Remember to make sure you are happy with how much is out before you dry it.

Hi L.---I really like Goo Gone. It is citrus based and it gets all kinds of adhesives off of things. I use it most often to get the remaining glue off of something when I remove the price sticker. I'd then wash the clothing as usual.

Good luck. D.

For sticky items, I often try a brand called Goo Gone sold at local stores.

If it is sticky, I think you are supposed to freeze the item and try to scrape/chip it off. Then try stain remover. Good luck.

WD-40 gets the tar out every time. I've often gotten the tar out and needed to use gasoline to get the WD out, but it does come out in the wash - just don't dry it until you are happy with it - the heat will set it.

If you google washing tree sap from clohtes, you get a lot of responses, such as alcohol, turpentine, even peanut butter. I have always been a fan of murphy's oil soap, although I can't recall using it on sap. Good look!
