How to Handle Pine Sap Removal

10/30/2019

With its gooey, sticky texture, tree sap rapidly sticks to anything it comes into contact with such as automobiles, hair, skin, clothing, and more. Handling pine sap removal can be hard and a headache.  

Though learning how to get rid of tree sap can be as simple as opening your cabinets. Several typical household products can work for removing tree sap. For example, one of the most popular household items for eliminating sap is rubbing alcohol. Alcohol works as a solvent, cracking, and dissolving the sap.

Skin and Hair Pine Tree Sap Remover

An excellent way to get sap off your skin is by using nail polish remover or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Just rub on the affected spots and clean with soap and water. Also, cooking oil or shortening as well as a grease-cutting dish soap will work.  

Getting sap in your hair is the worse. This can be taken out using peanut butter. The oils in peanut butter aid in breaking down the sap, loosening it enough to be combed out easily.  Cover the areas with sap and use a warm-setting hair dryer to make it pliable. Comb out and wash your hair as usual. Mayo can be used if you are all out of peanut butter. If you use mayo, let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Clothing Tree Sap Removal

Tree sap can be eliminated from clothing using rubbing alcohol. Just rub onto the stained spot to get the tree sap out. Then put the clothing in the washing machine and wash using warm water. Do not put other clothing items into the washing machine. Hand sanitizer also works on getting out tree sap in clothes.

Believe it or not, you can remove tree sap from clothing by using an excellent bug repellent, Spray on Deep Woods Off. This bug repellent also is good for getting tree sap off windows.

Automobile Tree Sap Removal
​

Numerous other household products can be used to remove tree sap from automobiles. Nail polish remover works wonders as a pine tree sap remover. Use with caution since nail polish remover also takes off paint.

Soak a cotton ball with the nail polish remover. Rub into the affected spot and rinse with a solution of hot water and baking soda. Wash the automobile as usual.
