"how to remove sap from trees"  In my case - pitch a brand new tent under them and the stuff comes pouring out!!!!

VERY weak washing up liquid, warm water and be gentle, should do the trick!

Leave it alone, it will dry and do no harm, that's what I did a couple of years ago and my tent is fine.

You are likely to damage the tent or waterproofing if you try to remove the sap.

We were under pine trees and got sap on the roof. We scraped the worst of it off on a warm day and the residue came off with a little meths.

On the Decathlon site the Quechua Tent instructions include:
'RESIN STAINS (very hard to remove): once the stain is dry, gently scratch it off whilst holding an ice cube on the inside of the fabric to make the resin brittle so it will come off more easily.'
