Are you tired of dealing with stubborn tree sap on your deck or pavers? You’re not alone. Tree sap can be a real nuisance, but luckily, there are ways to effectively remove it and restore the beauty of your outdoor surfaces. At The Pressure Wash Company of Lehigh Valley, we specialize in tackling tough cleaning jobs like this, and we’re here to help you say goodbye to stubborn tree sap for good.

First things first, it’s important to understand that while you may never get 100% of the sap off, you can dramatically reduce its presence with the right tools, chemicals, and effort. There are a variety of methods for removing tree sap, but not all of them are equally effective or safe for your surfaces.

Choosing the Right Method: Chemical Cleaners

Chemicals can be an effective way to dissolve tree sap, but it’s crucial to choose the right ones and use them carefully. Citrus-based cleaners and solvents specifically designed for removing tree sap are often your best bet. These products work by breaking down the sap, making it easier to remove. However, it’s important to consider whether the chemicals will end up on nearby surfaces when you apply pressure. You don’t want to clean one area while causing damage to another. Time is also a key factor when using chemical cleaners. If you’re impatient or don’t allow the solution enough time to work its magic, you may not be satisfied with the results. As with any chemical cleaner for your patio or deck, patience and following the instructions are the best way to get the results you are after.

Getting Hands-On: The Power of Elbow Grease

If chemicals aren’t your preferred method, good old-fashioned elbow grease can also do the trick. With the right scraper and a little bit of solvent or cleaning solution, you’d be amazed at the results you can achieve. However, this method requires time, effort, and proper technique to avoid damaging your surfaces. It is best to try this method in a small inconspicuous area of your paver patio to insure you do not cause lasting damage and to get the feel of how much effort this might take. 

Harnessing the Power of Hot Water: A Natural Solution

Another effective method for removing tree sap is hot water. By using extremely hot water and agitation tools, you can effectively dissolve and remove stubborn sap. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial when using hot water and chemicals, especially on hot, humid days.
