How can I remove tree sap from my white eaves and overhangs?

I'm blessed to have a number of large oak and maple trees in my yard providing terrific shade in the summer months (I don't even own an air conditioner 😊). There are only a few drawbacks to having these beautiful trees (soooo many leaves to rake), but the one problem I haven't been able to come up with a solution for is the stains created by them on my eaves and overhangs. Right now I'm power washing, and while there is a marked improvement, it's still quite visible. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
