Removing Sap from Windows?

Our office windows are covered in small tar or tree sap spots. The spots are all over the windows along the side the parking lot. How can I remove them without spending hours with a razer?

use a petroleum based product, like goo-gone or oops, both available in mass merchadisers to take off sticky stuff. A single edge razor blade will take off most of the goo, then finish with product of choice. Hairspray, nail polish remove, paint thinner or acetone should work , too.

Have you tried any or all of these products? and which one or ones were most successful ?
I even thought of using the spray that claims it's for ALL surfaces

I just don't want to scratch the windows.
Sure wish they would bring back good old Bon Ami.

I used an ice cube and a paper towel.... it freezes the sap and the edge of the cube makes a nice 'scraper'... Use a clean piece of the paper towel to lift off the frozen sap pieces and continue until all sap has been removed.

Ice cube technique worked like a charm on outdoor glass-top tables, and no scratches. Brilliant!

OMG thank you! I sat on a bench that had sap on it. I was able to work the sap out of my jeans with an ice cube!

I'm looking for any tips on removing tree sap from windows. Window cleaners don't work. Thanks!

the petroleum idea is correct. however, the purest form works best, i.e. gasoline. sure it smells horrible, and i would wear gloves, but, it never fails to remove tar from my car.

if you're not thrilled about this option, try WD-40 first. it should have the same effect but will require a little more elbow grease.

I read somewhere that toothpaste works on hands. Maybe it would work on windows too.

Tonite I had gunk on my window which had sap like consistency. After I scraped it off with a razor blade I cleaned it with nail polisher remover - worked great!

I use straight rubbing alcohol on sap that comes from Cedar trees on my wood floor and on my car windows.

I just bought a new car and i parked it under my tree at home. Well when i woke up the next day i realized that sap had dripped all over the windows, so i used a little bit of nail polish remover on a cotton ball, and wiped it really softly and it came right off.

Just be sure not to get any nail polish remover on your paint cause it will eat the paint. WORKS GREAT!

I just used Spic & Span's Cinch Spray cleaner. I always use it to clean up the dinner table and it cleans the greasiest messes. It seems to be based on rubbing alcohol rather than amonia, and I love it, and the smell. I had pine sap on the car, Orange clean did not work. So I tried te Cinch to remove the sap, and it was amazing! It disolved it all instantly, even the big gooey drops (I didnt even use a razor blade). After, I tried it on the paint too - it cleaned it instantly, evaporated instantly, and did not harm the paint at all.

Has anyone else tried hand sanitizer? I used it on a few small spots on my car and it worked. I saw this tip somewhere on the Internet.

Because it has alcohol in it.
