sap from pine trees

I use nail polish remover on our glass table top and painted Adirondack chairs. Soak a cloth in the remover then rub the spots off. For tougher spots cover the sap with the remover, let it sit for a minute or two then rub it off. Test a spot first to make sure it doesn't remove the finish on your deck.

It is a terrible year for pitch this year too. I have it on my Azek deck and hope I can get it off without damaging it.

Witch Hazel.........rug it with a rag and it dissolves

We use acetone which is the active ingredient in most nail polish removers. Be careful how you use it, follow BG's recommendation and test a spot first

Try butter...we use it all the time and it takes it right off.....no harmful chemicals. I have also used WD40. Butter works terrific if you get it on your hands. Just a little goes a long way.

Super clean degreaser is my go to for almost everything. then there is always WD-40. Obviously there are many products that work thankfully.
