We've had one of our very steep banks made more accessible with some
steps made from railway sleepers and stone. The trouble is that the
sleepers are oozing tar or creosote in the sun. What would people
advise is the best way to treat them?

The steps aren't in regular use, but we really don't want this stuff
trodden into the house.
