Start by using Sap-Off! without water. Sap-Off! should make direct contact with plant resins without additional liquids or cleaning products. Scrub thoroughly for 30 seconds, working Sap-Off! into sticky residues to break their bonds. Rinse and repeat if necessary. Wash away any remaining residue with soap and water. Works great on scissors, pruners, and other garden tools. Do not use on painted surfaces, leather, fabric, or any surface that may scratch easily.
