Sticky tree sap on your beautiful pine benches can be a real nuisance. Don't worry—removing it is simpler than you think. First, harden the sap by placing a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and holding it against the glob for a minute. Once brittle, gently scrape it off with a plastic putty knife or an old credit card, being careful not to gouge the wood. For any remaining residue, dampen a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or hand sanitizer. Gently dab and rub the spot; the alcohol will dissolve the sap without harming the wood's finish. For a natural alternative, a small amount of olive oil or baking soda paste can work well. After cleaning, wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Finally, consider applying a protective sealant or outdoor furniture wax to your dry bench to prevent future sap adhesion and shield the wood from the elements. Regular maintenance will keep your pine benches looking great for years.
