Because tree sap is especially sticky, neither ordinary deck cleaners nor power washing will work. We recommend using WD40 to remove the sap.

When you remove the labels that come standard on our deck boards, there may be some adhesive left behind.

Traditional deck cleaner or power washing may not remove the adhesive completely.
