Usually if ice doesnt work, you either need heat or chemicals to remove it. Cold does work but on such a soft surface, it could be tough.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Use a steam cleaner on it. If you don't have one, you can rent one or possibly borrow one from a friend.

Answer 6

use an iced cube...

Answer 7

Try Peanut butter.. =D

g'luck=)

Answer 8

Ice is generally the best way -- it takes quite a bit to "freeze" the gum in order to chisel it from the surface.

Try vegetable oil to soften and loosen, then steam clean.
