Removing sticky sap from outdoor sofa fabric can be frustrating, but with the right techniques, it’s manageable. Here are the most effective DIY methods:

1. Rubbing Alcohol: Dab a cloth in rubbing alcohol and gently blot the sap. The alcohol breaks down the resin without damaging the fabric.

2. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts vinegar and water, apply to the stain, then sprinkle baking soda. Scrub lightly with a soft brush before rinsing.

3. Freezing Method: Harden the sap by applying an ice pack, then scrape it off carefully with a dull knife. Follow up with soapy water.

4. Dish Soap and Warm Water: A mild soap solution can loosen sap when applied with a microfiber cloth. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

For stubborn stains, repeat the process or combine methods. Always test cleaners on a hidden area first to avoid discoloration. Prevent future sap issues by covering your outdoor furniture when not in use.
