GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
The sap should be water soluble and thus be removable with water based cleaners. The stains are a different story. They are most likely tannins and will not be easily removed, especially from light colored vinyl.
There is a product I use for all kinds of removal it is called brush and roller cleaner any paint store or hardware store will carry it.Don't know if it will work but I always start there when cleaning.(do a test spot to make sure it does not pull color out) Jim
I don't think you can get it off with water. I remember trying to water pine sap off my hands with soap and water, no good.
I would try naptha, paint thinner or turpentine.
These will not hurt the vinyl and should dissolve the sap.
