Despite having been a keen gardener for a number of years I have so far not had to remove tree sap from my hands. On removing the Christmas tree from the house it left quite a lot of sap behind on the floor and also on the hands. Finding it didn’t come off with just soap and water I looked up the best way of removing it and found with surprise that mayonnaise was recommended. After leaving the mayonnaise on the hands for a few minutes and washing it off with warm water the sticky sap was gone. This article where I found the information also contains tips on how the remove tree sap from other surfaces.
