How To Remove Chewing Gum From Clothes

I found a neat product called gum-out which got gum off my carpet really easily - you can buy it at www.chewing-gum-removal.com, it's an easy to use applicator which injects a special liquid and within half an hour the gum lifts straight off. Good luck!

My daughter had a big smear of ground in chewing gum where she had sat on a bench covered in it. Froze it then tried WD 40, then neat washing up liquid. Dissolved instantly and the resulting goo scrapped off with finger nail easily, although was a bit worried as it ooked as if the colours in her dress were running. But it was fine, it must have been the clour WD 40 goes when it has dissolved gum!. Then washed as normal to get rid of the smell of WD40. Now good as new.

when i realized that my favorite garment had a wad of gum stuck to it, i found your site and gave it a whirl. i viewed the comments you had posted and decided to use ovewhelming force. first, i soaked they soiled area woth WD-40 and let it sit overnight. the next morning, i put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes and then pulled it out and gently scrapped as much of the gu off as i could using my fingernails. after that, i brought out a roll of industrial strength duct tape, and was able to get a little more "pulled off." lastly, i froze the gum spot with an ice cube and proceeded to scrape the fozen gum "chips" off little by little. i choose a kind of "ginza" knife that allowed me to scrape, at a perpendicular angle, most of the remaining chicle residue. two washes in hot water..........hung-dry of-course, and ... . the gum was gone! as this clothing item had special, sentimental value, i rejoiced in my triumph. TAKE THAT, YOU GUM!

I didn't notice the gum on my polyester trousers until it had sunk in so the freezing method didn't work but the WD$) worked a treat -thanks

umm, yeah, someone said peanut butter works, and i tried it, but now there's chewing gum AND peanut butter all over my pants d'oh! any help for these? Mum suggested orange smelling stuff called de-solve-it??

What if the clothing has been washed and dried and then the gum is discovered on the clothing? Any ideas?
