Does anyone know if shampoo will work to get tree pitch out of wool? Let me go to the beginning of the story.

I must admit to being careless at the Tacoma Highland Games yesterday. It was very hot and in an effort to stay in the shade, I was careless about where I sat and wound up with tree pitch on my kilt. I immediately sought out my friends for advice on cleaning. One good piece of advice was to turn the kilt around before driving home so as not to set the pitch farther into the fabric. Also the air-conditioner blowing on it helped it to solidify. Sort of like putting it in the freezer when getting home.

Some of the pitch was old and allowed me to carefully roll it off. Some however was fresh and soft. One suggestion was rubbing (wood) alcohol (NOT drinking alcohol). That picked up some, but what was left soaked further into the fabric--oops. Another suggestion was to use brown paper and an iron like on a wax spill. Looking at old posts here, I see shampoo recommended for cleaning. Does anyone know if it works on pitch? Have you tried it?

I think what I learned most: one should turn around and go back home for the sitting pad when one realizes it has been forgotten. On the bright side, the woodsy smell is masculine.
