The key to successfully removing tree sap stains from acrylic is to act quickly and use the right supplies. Left untreated, tree sap can become increasingly difficult to remove and may cause discoloration or other damage to acrylic surface.

Steps for Removing Tree Sap from Acrylic

  1. Mix 1 part white vinegar and 1 part water in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray liberally onto tree sap stain on the acrylic.
  3. Allow the vinegar solution to sit for 2-3 minutes before scrubbing with a soft cloth or sponge.
  4. Rinse the cloth or sponge and scrub again until the tree sap stain is removed.
  5. After all of sap is gone, use a microfiber cloth to buff and dry the area.

If tree sap stain is especially stubborn, you may need to use a stronger solution. Try mixing 1 cup of rubbing alcohol with 1 cup of water and spraying it onto stain. Scrub gently with a cloth or sponge and rinse with warm water. Another option is to use a mineral oil-based product to remove the sap. Apply oil to a soft cloth and rub gently over the stained area until the sap is completely gone.

  • Keep trees trimmed away from windows and doors to reduce the chances of sap dripping onto acrylic surfaces.

  • Inspect trees during peak sap season for signs of sap or sap stains.
  • Be sure to remove any sap as soon as possible.
