Tree sap can be difficult to deal with, especially when it gets onto your pots and pans. You may have tried to scrub away the sap spots, only to find that they come right back after a few days. Fortunately, there is an easy way to remove tree sap stains from cookware. Here are the steps to follow:
- Fill a large bowl or sink with hot, soapy water.
- Soak the pots and pans in the hot soapy water for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Take a scrub brush and gently scrub away at the sap spots.
- Rinse and dry the cookware with a soft cloth.
You may need to repeat these steps several times to completely remove the sap stains, but eventually your cookware should be free of tree sap!
If the sap has been stuck on your cookware for days or weeks and won't come off with just soap and water, you may need to try something a little stronger. Rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits can both help to break down the sap and make it easier to scrub away. Be sure to rinse the cookware thoroughly after using either of these products.
Once your cookware is free of tree sap, it's important to take steps to prevent the sap from coming back. Make sure that you're wiping up any sap spots as soon as possible, and if you have evergreen trees near your home, consider moving your cookware away from them when not in use.
