I have the whole range of them—I'm a messy person—and like Joyce said, they've never failed me yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393772 Mon, 18 Aug 2025 16:16:30 +0000 Cookie 2393772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m in Maine right now visiting a friend and she just mentioned that there was a blob of pine sap on her windshield and that isopropyl alcohol would take it right off. I have no idea if that works on fabric, but for others who get it on their cars! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393646 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 19:36:49 +0000 Lisa 2393646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no additional suggestions but good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393518 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 08:29:02 +0000 Sisi 2393518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once put a sheet of absorbing paper on the stain and then passed the hot iron on it. The heat melts the sap and the paper absorbs it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393494 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 21:00:56 +0000 Ket 2393494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Fabbers! <b>Thank you!!! </b>I so appreciate your help. :)<b></p> <p></b><b></b>Sounds like acetone, rubbing alcohol, Goop, and Carbona are all great options! I will give these a go, one by one, and see what works. I'll try to report back soon. :D&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393478 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 16:31:14 +0000 sarah 2393478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree about trying hand sanitizer or just straight-up rubbing alcohol (the active ingredient in hand sanitizer). That's how I've removed pine sap from my windshield! Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393468 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 15:11:51 +0000 cherylm 2393468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Use hand sanitizer - the alcohol will loosen the sap. I use it to get sap off my dogs.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393458 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 13:31:07 +0000 Indigoprint 2393458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hand cleaner called Goop should work. I have used it before with success and safe for the fabric I had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393453 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 12:57:57 +0000 Carol 2393453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...just my thoughts. If you are not too precious with the skirt, you can try boiling it in water several times, or at least pouring boiling water on the spot. I&nbsp; believe this melts the sap, which you could then rinse out in warm water. It might take several times.&nbsp;</p> <p>nevermind, I just googled that exact method, and it said no!&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393442 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:34:54 +0000 bella 2393442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Joyce, I am interested in your tips for removing sap from cars. Our apartment complex has a lot of pine trees and the car sometimes needs to be parked under them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393441 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:15:29 +0000 greycat6 2393441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had success removing pine sap with acetone (finger nail polish remover). The fabric was not damaged. I’ve used this technique on denim, Lulu leggings, fabric cushions on outdoor furniture and tablecloths. We have a LOT of pine trees on our property! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393440 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:08:57 +0000 Suz 2393440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, <b>Jenni</b>, in certain circles, many decades ago, pine sap was used by children (including my mother) as a kind of chewing gum.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's the elixir of life flowing through the tree as it grows and drops of it can appear all year round but especially if the tree is growing actively or has just been pruned.&nbsp;</p> <p>But it leaks in greater abundance from pine (and fir) trees, especially when they are stressed or damaged. Sap has antibacterial properties which protect the tree from further damage/ infection.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393438 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 03:29:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 2393438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea sorry Ket. I have never even heard of pine sap </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393423 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 22:26:26 +0000 Joyce B 2393423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a Carbona stain devil number 7 that they say removes sap, motor oil, etc. I have not tried it on clothes but Carbona products have never disappointed me.<br /> I have a good system for removing sap from cars, but thankfully that is not what you need.<br /> Good luck and let us know how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393413 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 19:59:34 +0000 JAileen 2393413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got pine pitch on a jacket, had it dry cleaned, and it came out. &nbsp;That’s not to say that would work on your skirt. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393412 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 19:55:48 +0000 Suz 2393412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh, this is a really good question. To which, alas, I have no immediate answer. I hope someone does!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393411 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 19:55:15 +0000 Angie 2393411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd ask ChatGPT your question about the too small spot to freeze. See what they say.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck. Let us know it goes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angiefabbers-getting-pine-sap-out-of-a-skirt#post-2393406 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 17:08:40 +0000 Ket 2393406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We were at the park last week. While sitting there watching my son, I noticed a large drop of honey-looking liquid on my rayon jersey skirt. Went to dab it away only to discover it was pine sap. :(&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been googling for ideas. The directions are to freeze it and scrape off as much hardened sap as possible. However, there isn't enough to scrape off, frozen or otherwise after I dabbed it off. It's just a small spot, like a drop of glue or honey that soaked into the fabric.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know oil dissolves pine sap, but I don't want to try getting a secondary oil spot out of the fabric.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Thoughts? I'm likely just going to pre-treat with Dawn dishwashing detergent and try washing just the spot in warm water before laundering it and air drying as usual. But I want to know what you all think!</p> <p>Thank you, my Fab friends!</p> <p></div> </p>
