Tips for removing pine sap or pitch from your hands as posted by the ThriftyFun community. Post your own ideas here.
Toothpaste
While arranging some pine boughs in a vase as a centerpiece, I ended up with pine sap all over my hands. I tried soap, Dawn, scrubbed, and scrubbed, nothing worked - still sticky.
I went upstairs and got some toothpaste (not the gel kind) and put a quarter size dollop in my hand, then added a bit of water. Washed my hands like you normally do and the pine sap was gone - no sticky!

Pam Cooking Spray
My son in law told me to use Pam, or something similar, to remove tree sap from my hands and he was right. It came right off.

Pam Works In 10 Seconds
PAM works fast and it does not hurt from scrubbing. I could not remember where I read butter, but after looking at PAM, and having tried many of the above solvents: Dawn, Toothpaste, Joy, Grease Monkey, Tar Soap, Baking Soda, Finger Nail Polish in the past. I decided to try the internet first this time.
PAM non stick food spray! 10 seconds, and soft clean, smooth hands!

Nail Polish Remover
My mom always used fingernail polish remover. I've heard you can use petroleum jelly as well.

Cooking Oil
To get "Pine Sap" off your hands, put a small amount of cooking oil on your hands just enough to coat your hands. Then rub your hands together for about 1 whole minute or so. The pitch will loosen up and once it does you can then wash it off with soap and water. Repeat if necessary. WORKS GREAT!

Peanut Butter
I've found That peanut butter works best at removing pine tar from your hands . Put a little dollop in your hands, wash and rinse as usual with a little warm water and your good to go.

Oil Is The Key
The peanut butter worked great for me! I think any oil based product such as butter, Pam or any kind of cooking oil will do the trick, too.

A million thanks! I ended up here from Google because my daughter had a pine tree drip sap right onto the inside corner of her nose, next to her eye. The oil worked fast and like a charm. Thanks again everybody! JoAnne

Pam cooking spray works the best. Just spray a quarter size amount in your hand, rub your hands together and its GONE!. Then just was hands with soap like normal.

Thanks People! It really works. I tried using PAM to get the sap off of my sandel and it worked. I just sprayed it on, waited 10 seconds and washed it off. You just need to scrub a little bit. Thanks!

After reading the above, I tried Canola oil to remove pine sap. Worked great. I agree, I think any oil-based product will likely work.

Goof Off, Goo Gone, and lighter fluid for pocket lighters all work very well.
