  • Clean rag

  • Cloth

  • Leather conditioner

Use creamy peanut butter to remove tree sap from leather gloves.

Tree sap is a thick substance that oozes from trees during the fall and winter months. When the sap stains clothing such as leather gloves, it sticks like glue to the material. The sap requires a greasy agent to counteract its stiffness, allowing it to lift from the leather material without damaging it.

Step 1

Scoop 1/2 tsp. of creamy peanut butter onto the tree sap on the leather gloves. With your fingers, rub the peanut butter into the tree sap. The peanut butter absorbs the sap, pulling it from the leather material.
