How to Remove Gum From a Shoe

You've made it to the computer and onto the Web, but you've still got gum on your shoe?

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• An Ice Cube
• 1 Plastic Bags
• A Blunt Knife

1. Try scraping the gum off with a knife to remove as much gum as possible.

2. Freeze the gum with an ice cube if you need another approach. Put an ice cube in a small plastic bag and apply the ice to the gum, allowing the gum to harden completely.

3. Pry off the hardened gum with a knife, a key or any appropriately small and rigid tool.

Tips & Warnings

• If the gum is still sticky, try scraping the bottom of your shoe on rough concrete.

• Don't use your bare hands. You never know where that gum has been!
