We’ve had a couple of emails and messages on social media over the last few months asking us how to remove tree sap from outdoor furniture. I think it worries a lot of people because both tacky or dried on, it sticks, fast, and can at first feel impossible to remove.

Fortunately, we have a number of tips and tricks you can use to remove it safely without causing any damage. And not just for our metal outdoor furniture too...

In this article, we will look at how you can also remove it from the other popular outdoor furniture materials, garden parasols and outdoor fabrics such as cushions, loungers and awnings.
