All of us outdoorsy types have had that moment when you get up from sitting under your favorite tree just to realize that you sat on some pitch... or tree sap as it is also known.
Several times I have made the mistake of simply throwing the clothes in the ol' washing machine hoping that it will work miracles. Alas... instead of a magical sap zapping machine it simply made the problem worse.
So I decided to experiment with some household products... and the first one I tried is a total winner!
For those of you who are not yet fans of the cleaning product known as "Soft Scrub"... you soon will be!
Soft Scrub... as I found out through my recent sap mishap... is not just the best tool for toilets, sinks, and glass tops stoves!
To treat your pitchy pants or other cloth wears, simply wet the area, add a small dot of Soft Scrub and rub together lightly. The pitch/sap will ball up in sticky wads that can simply be washed down the drain. Rinse under your kitchen or utility faucet. Repeat as needed. After you have completely removed all of the sap simply wash as usual!
As a word of caution... do not use the Soft Scrub with Bleach... and try the Soft Scrub on an inconspicuous spot of your clothing prior to treating.
