What is the best way to remove pine resin from clothing?

The usual method would be using blotting paper and an iron. That probably won't work with wool powder. I've already googled it and wanted to ask here on GF if anyone has any specific tips.

This is true for candle wax, but not for resin.

You can dissolve resin with butter and then wash out with warm water and β€œRei Du der Tube” in the hand wash basin. The funny thing is that butter and resin, chemically seen, originate from the same homologous series.

We used to do this with β€œK2r”, a stain remover. But I don’t know if there is one.

Yes and then wash out as I described it!

With a detergent which is suitable for hand washing. A mild shampoo also goes!

Hello, resin is generally soluble in alcohol. If the resin is already dried, it is all the more difficult to remove it. In general, a mixture of high-percent alcohol (spiritus/isopropanol) and surfactants would be the right choice.

I’d at least try. I used to have resin on a shoe with textile as upper material. That worked very well. Wool is of course another thing, clear. I’d make it an attempt anyway.
