Question:
“How do I remove tree sap off of my deck?” -Bryan, TX
Answer:
There are several things you can try. I would start with something like rubbing alcohol or Murphy’s Oil. Let it soak into the sap to help dissolve and soften and then wipe away. You can also use mineral spirits to try to soak and wipe it away. If those products don’t work, use a heat gun to soften the sap and then wipe it off. A pressure washer can also help remove sap residue. If all else fails, you can try sanding the sap off to fresh wood, but this may require you to sand the entire deck area so it matches. Once you remove the sap, be sure to re-stain and seal the deck to make residue removal easier next time. Good luck!
