If there is a way then there must also be an Easy Way

Clean pine sap, tar or pitch


Pine pitch, tar or sap is really horrid. It clings to your skin. So if you have been chopping your trees, handling pine logs or somehow managed to get tar on you then head for the larder for a solution

See if you can find one of the following

Bacon grease
Mayonnaise
Lard
Witch Hazel

All of these are harmless to skin, paint and hair. Just rub it on, and off comes the sap. Then simply eash away the fatty residue with soapy water

Other things that will shift pine tar, pitch, or tar are

Water-soluble paint brush cleaner
lighter fluid
Gasoline (Petrol)
WD-40
Rubbing alcohol also works great

Just rub into the stain or mark and it will dissolve the tar. Then wash in soapy water

Also sent into the site is the following:

An effective way to remove pine sap, or pitch from a large area is denatured alcohol, but if on a plastic or transparent surface, be very careful since it tends to attack some substances.
