My son and I have suffered yearly from allergies when we bring our freshly cut Christmas tree into the house. We tried rinsing it off and letting it dry in the garage before setting it up, but the allergies still whacked us.
Last week, after we cut the tree and brought it home, we sprayed it thoroughly with a natural fruit and vegetable cleaner made of citrus, corn and coconut. We left the cleanser on for five minutes before spraying it off with water and letting the tree dry overnight in the garage. We have had no allergies to the tree this time!
Some people can be allergic to pine sap or mold on the bark and branches of pine trees. Washing off the contaminants and letting the tree dry was a brilliant idea and seems to have worked well for you.
