How to remove any amount of chewing gum from your kids or even your own clothes,

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • "A freezer, 2 hours spare time"
  1. Step 1

    Ensure that the effected clothing with the chewing gum on is undisturbed, and make no attempt to remove the chewing gum at all, no matter how big or small.

  2. Step 2

    Clear space in your deep freezer to place the effected clothing into, ideally away from food taking into account the clothing has not been washed. (ideally place the clothing in a thin plastic bag) Place the clothing in the freezer & securely close the door.

  3. Step 3

    Leave for a minimum of 2 hours but ideally 3 hours or longer(Especially if placed in a plastic bag)

  4. Step 4

    Remove the clothing from the freezer, you will find that the clothing is still in its original soft condition, its only the chewing gum and its properties that have been effected.
    From this point remove the gum from the clothes, you will find it in a solid state and it breaks away very easily, any gum left attched to the clothing will break away with the help of your finger nail.
    Leaving no chewing gum or stain in view.
    "IT WORKS" try it.

  5. Step 5

    You are now safe to wash/dry clean the effected item.
    And it should be just like new. "IT WORKS"

Tips & Warnings
  • Place the effected clothing in the thinest plastic bag possible.
  • Leave for 3 hours or longer if possible.
  • Post the article on all schhol notice boards/newsletters & save parents loads a money.
  • Dont try to remove the chewing gum at all, wait until its been in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours.
