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!

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 around US$24 and you can remove around 100 wads of gum with a simple applicator.
Good luck!

Boil some water. Pour about a tablespoon over the gum. Doing so will make the gum melt thus making removal a cinch. Just wipe off with a clean cloth. Requires a bit of scrubbing.

Use egg white to break down the proteins in gum. Apply egg white with an old toothbrush to the gum spot. Let sit for 15 minutes, then clean the spot using cold water and a sponge or old rag. Works great!

I stepped on chewing gum and then got in my car, bringing the gum to my new car carpet mat.
I removed most of the gum by scraping, then sprayed canola oil on a piece of clothe and rubbed out the remaining gum. I then blotted out the oil by putting kitchen paper over the spot and rubbed and pressed with the scissors handle. It was then all cleaned.

I heated some white vinegar in the microwave until warm, and then using an old toothbrush, I dipped into the vinegar and proceeded to work out the gum by brushing in the same circular motion. The gum lifted off without a problem. Rinse out vinegar from jeans straight afterward.

There are gum remover sprays which shoot very cold gas at the gum, thereby cooling it to lower temperatures than ice would. This makes the gum even harder and easier to remove. You can buy these sprays at a hardware store for about $6.
In addition, you can contact the gum maker (as long as you know which brand it is) to receive specific removal information.

After getting off the bulk of the gum with ice, you can steam the remainder out using a wet 100% cotton cloth and an iron. This works well for carpets and for fabrics without damaging either one.

To remove chewing gum from carpet or fabric, put paper towels on top of the gum and heat with an iron set on low to medium heat. The gum will melt and soak into the paper towel. Move to a fresh area on the paper towel until the majority of the gum is gone.

When I went to university I worked part time as a grounds keeper. I had a carpet with gum on it. A girl from financial aid who once worked at an arcade (imagine the gum) told me to get dust spray or air in a can and hold the can upside down so the liquid comes out. Then spray it on the gum and use a putty knife to break up the gum witch will break apart instantly. Vacuum or sweep up ASAP. This method never failed me and it removes all the gum at once.

The canned air you use to blow the dust out of your computer can be very helpful too.
You've probably noticed how cold the can gets when you use it. You can use the coldness of the air to freeze the gum instead of ice. Just point the plastic straw at the gum and spray until the gum becomes brittle. Then scrape it away as instructed above.

Just use Goo Gone to rid anything sticky of pretty much anything. Most stores will actually use this product to get gum off floors along with its dozens of other uses (cleaning up duct tape and sticker residue).
Note: Before you try Goo Gone on jeans, you might wanna check if it stains the denim. It is after all a strong chemical substance.

on 3/7/2006 I remember using baby oil to remove gum from hair. But I haven't tried it on fabrics yet, but it works wonders in hair!
