How do I remove pine tree sap on the overhead screens on my lanai? The pine tree always drips sap and I can't remove the pine tree.
Hi, Em. Sap is insidious, isn't it. Google has some good answers and here's one that won't cost a lot: www.gardeningknowhow.com/
Yes,yes,yes I am happy to say. Our deck chairs are metal frames with strong poly mesh seats and backs. I thought today I would attempt to find a solution to the pine gum from nearby hanging trees.
I have tree sap (from the yellow sticky buds off trees) that fall onto my outdoor vinyl I have on my deck. I cannot remove the yellow stickiness. I tried Goof Off, but that also took the colour out of my vinyl too. Please if anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate your response.

I have a composite picnic table and I used the regular unscented Cutex nail polish remover. I wet the cloth and just a few rubs and the sap was gone, it did not take the color out at all. Ran out of Cutex and purchased a different brand, but had to use a lot more and rub harder as well.
I have multiple areas with sap on a few window screens, will nail polish remover work?
By Lady Lucy from NY
To remove sap with nail polish remover effectively you'd want to use a nail polish remover with acetone because the non-acetone won't even cut through price tag adhesive in my experience. You should test a very small area of the screen to see if the nail polish remover will remove the sap without melting the synthetic material the mesh is woven from-acetone can 'melt' plastics.
I think you'd have safer and better results using one of the automotive sap removing products. The car care products for removing sap from car finishes, windscreens, and headlamps (all car parts or finishes being made with synthetic polymers nowadays) will remove the sap easily without 'melting' your screen mesh.

I would *try* rubbing alcohol .. it should break down the sap and is safe to use on nylon!

Dab the alcohol over the sap until the sap comes off. Add a little mild dish soap to another corner of the cloth dampened with water.

How do I remove tree sap from pelts without damaging the fur?
By Carmen G
Rubbing alcohol might work. Dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and gently hold against the sap to loosen. Gently wipe in the direction of the fur. Don't use too much rubbing alcohol as it is very drying and could cause fur to fall out/leather to dry out.
How can I remove tree sap or resin from a blanket that was spread out on the ground? I saw all the postings for small areas but can I use the hand sanitizer in the washing machine? It's going to be a big job to get it all out! Thanks!
I had pine sap drip into my hair. I used a paper towel with Pine Sol on it and the sap came right out. Maybe this will work on your blanket.
