You can remove pine sap (or pine pitch) from a tent by spot cleaning the dirty pine sap area with a sponge soaked in mineral oil. Test a small area on the tent so you can be sure the oil doesn't react to the tent and also be careful not to over-scrub the dirty area.

You may also try alcohol-based products such as a hand sanitizer or wet wipes.

Once the sap is removed rinse the area of the tent thoroughly with water.

Here are a few supplies to clean a dirty tent:

Cold to lukewarm water
Bucket
Bathtub, shower or large sink
Mild dish soap, such as Dawn
Cleaner designed specifically for outdoor gear, like Nikwax Tech Wash
Nonabrasive sponge or cloth
Tent & Gear Solar Waterproofing
