OK guys, listen up. A piece of green Trident gum went through an entire dryer cycle and got all over a load of light colored clothes. Tried vaseline - it didn't work. Tried nailpolish remover with acetone - it didn't work. (I was hoping to find something that wouldn't stain the clothes so I was hesitant to try anything with oil). Here's what DID work & it was EASY: Soak the stain in Downy fabric softener for about 15 minutes (I used Ultra Downy). Then rinse in very warm water & the gum comes right out as you rub your fingers over the stain. I will never try another method in the future... Although I hope I won't need to! :)
