Comments on How to Remove Gum from Clothing

my daughter had chewing gum on her white school p.e top, i first applied washing up liquid then salt, i then gently rubbed them in with another piece of fabric and then gently scraped the chewing off. it didn't even leave a stain!!

Somehow a stick of gum in the lined pocket in a good purse became unwrapped and left little gum fuzzies, plus a stain, on the fabric. What's the best way to remove both the fuzzies and the stain? Thanks.

i accidentally sat on a huge gob of yellow gum at the movies and didn't notice till i'd got home 2 hours later, and it was smeared all over a back pocket of my favorite jeans. i stuffed them into the freezer overnight and then scraped as much as i could with a butter knife and plucked at it with my nails, which was gross but more effective. after i'd gottten off as much as i could i put about 2 spoonfulls of vegtable oil all over the area of the gum and made sure it really soaked into the jeans. i then resumed scraping and rubbed the area with an oil soaked napkin to get the last bits off. the last step was to wash the oil out with dishsoap before i stuck the jeans in the laundry. it worked really well and it only took around 15 minutes, so i was pretty pleased! sidenote- this couldd have been avoided if people could just learn to dispose of their gum properly!

Forget all the suggestions using smelly stuff like hairspray, WD-40, Goof-Off and vinegar. They may work, but this method is quick, easy and causes no damage to most clothing. Just take a container of canned air (used to remove dust from keyboards), hold it upside down and spray directly onto the gum. It will instantly freeze it and the gum will crack off! Use a butter knife to help scrape it off. Be careful not to spray it onto your hand or you will get frostbite and don't inhale! Works like a charm!

I used to remove gum was alcohol pads, and it work great...

WD40 vs Goof (Off) - My 5 year old daughter had some type of gummy substance on her favorite blanket. I tried Goof (Off 2) (I think this is what one commenter was talking about.) It didn't work at all. Maybe they use the regular Goof Off that makes you leave the house to use it. The WD40 worked like a charm even on top of the Goof Off. That's my choice from now on.

My daughters cheerleading uniform has gum on it.It isn't chewed up gum,however its melted onto the skirt and i have tried Ice and a shout wipe and nothing seems to bring it off. Can you suggest anything?

once I got gum on my backpack and all I had to do was use vegetable oil on a paper towel and then apply warm water to rinse and then apply duel action spray and wash and rinse with warm water and then scrape with a mr. clean magic eraser and rinse with water and then pop it into the dryer
