Question

How do I get chewing gum off our wooden coffee table?

Answer 1

There's some stuff called goof off. YOu can get it at hardware stores and paint stores. Its amazing for stuff like that. It usually won't hurt the wood finish either. Try a test patch somewhere on the wood to make sure the goof off won't hurt the finish of the wood first.

Answer 2

Try waiting for it to dry then it should be quite easily picked off!

Answer 3

I agree with freezing it off.  The other two are just funny!  Guess some people will do anything for points.....sorry.

Peanutbutter is good for hair and gum.  Gross, but it works.

Answer 11

You should not be chewing gum off a wooden table or any table for that matter it's just not sanitary. I mean if you can't afford gum just cut some things in your budget , do not lower yourself to chewing on furniture,to scrape some remaining essence of old gum.:)

Answer 12

wait until it goes hard

Answer 13

paint over it

Answer 14

get some freezing spray, the sort plumbers use to freeze water pipes, give it a spray then it gets really brittle and will flake off

Dont use too much and dont spray it near yor eyes

and dont invite creeps who leave chewing gum around

Answer 15

goo-gone or goo-be-gone, I can't remember exactly what it's called, but you can find it anywhere in the cleaning isle.

But for a faster fix, put an ice cube on it. It will harden the gum and you should be able to pick it right off.
