Chewing gum on Clothes ?

Question

Any good suggestions on how to get chewing off clothes. Some cleverdick had stuck chewing-gum to a seat & i sat down in it in my good suit. Any help greatly appreciated please.

Answer 1

stick it in the freezer for a couple hours and once it is froze flake it off with your fingernail, if it starts to get soft repeat the freezer and then again flake, it may take several times of doing this to get it all off.  Since it is a suit I would then take it to the cleaners.

Do not use peanut butter, it will leave a oily spot on the suit

Answer 2

Try putting it the Deepfreeze for a couple of hours. It should get hard and brittle and can be removed. Put it in a plasticbag to keep it dry.  

Answer 3

The freezer idea is right, cept when I did that with my husbands suit trousers, and then tried to get the hard gum off with a knife, the fabric cut very easily (maybe the freezer makes the fibres brittle?) so be warned, and don't repeat my mistake and end up having to have new suit trousers made!!

Answer 4

get chewing gum band! people not responsible enough to dispose of it properly should not be allowed to have it. hugely unrealistic i know but isn't it infuriating!

freeze it ans scrape it off with a knife.

good luck

Answer 5

put it in the freezer, then scrape it off

Answer 6

try putting it in the freezer and letting it freeze then scrape it off with a knife... hopefully it will work

Answer 7

they say putting the item in the freezer helps, so idea if it does

and there is a product called sticky stuff remover but i think its more for furishings/carpets

Answer 8

freeze the item overnight the gumshould then pick off

Answer 9

Try using a piece of ice over it first - it should then scrape off with a knife.  

Answer 10

i agree with 1st answer, either keep rubbing ice on the garment or put the garment in a bag and put in the freezer, should scrape off

Answer 11

Put it in the freezer and wait for it to freeze then it should be easy to peel off.

Answer 12

Try putting it in the freezer when it goes hard can pick it off. I also heard viniger helps i thinks it white viniger but google it first i wouldn't want u to ruin a good suit but the freezer is good
