How do you clean plant sap off of stained hardwood floors?

Answer

Usually a little mineral spirits can pull most tree sap off without causing damage to most finishes. If the floor is sealed with varathane or other newer sealers it won't cause any problem, but if it's a much older floor using old style varnish, it may soften the varnish slightly and you should give it a day before you walk on it.
