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.

Lightly spot sand and apply an appropriate finish to "hide" the blemish. If unsatisfactory, consider reappling the finish to the entire floor. If severe you may have to sand the spot down to bare wood and refinish it. If severe and covering large areas you may have to consider restoring the entire floor.

How do you clean sap off your car?

Sap should come off easily be cleaned off with mineral turpentine, engine degreaser and sometimes methylated spirits. If the sap is hard try scraping it with your nail. If you do use one of these, wash the area off afterwards as there are some products that, if left on for long, may damage the paintwork. If you've mistaken tar with sap the tar should come off with eucalyptus oil or one of the above. There are car parts sellers that you could ask and they will probably have a product that leans off sap and tar.

How do you get sap off of hardwood flooring?

My kids left a sap trail on my hardwood through out the house so I used Non stick cooking spray. Spray on sap and clean off with a rag or paper towel. Be sure to clean your floors with whatever you usually use to get the oil residue off. Worked like a charm! Try an ice cube to freeze it and then scrape it off. If that doesn't work, then rubbing it with margarine or ammonia (windex) may do the trick. These work well for wax and tar. * Try a scraping most of the sap away with a credit card or equivalent then apply a little 'Skin So Soft' by Avon rub with a clean cloth. Kerosene, Turpentine, or Mineral Sprits will disolve tree sap and tar.
