If you are out and about this holiday season and Christmas tree shopping is on your agenda, remember, if you get sap on your hands during this festive excursion, you can remove the sticky substance with your hand sanitizer! Squeeze a dollop on your palms and rub together for about 15 seconds. The ethyl alcohol in the sanitizer will dissolve the sap in seconds. You can also use it to remove sap from your clothing and other household surfaces too.
