Question

How do you remove chewing gum from any fabric?

Answer 1

if you can, try putting the fabric into the freezer first, if it hasn't been scrubbed in,  after it freezes it shouldn't be too hard to remove

Answer 2

Lestoil

Answer 3

You can get a can of freeze spray, or you can prob use Dust Off for your keyboard but hold it to where it the liquid comes out. it will freeze the gum and will be easier to remove.

Answer 4

If you freeze it before it gets ground in, it will come off. There are some chemicals, such as goo gone, that will dissolve gum, but they can also damage clothing.

Peanut Butter can get gum out of your hair (literally) but I have never tried it on clothing.

Answer 5

I have used ice if it is just on the surface but that doesn't always work and I have torn holes in the fabric that way.  You can work a little peanut butter into the spot and it will come out.  It just sort of dissolves the gum.  My daughter left a piece in her pocket one time and this was the only way I could figure out to remove it. Then you have to treat the spot for grease after rinsing the peanut butter gum mixture out of the fabric and place some detergent directly on the spot.   That is a relatively easy thing compared to the chewing gum.

By the way the peanut butter works on gum in hair too.

Answer 6

put the fabricin the frezzer then scrape off  or rub ice on the gum till it is frozen then scrape off

Answer 7

Goo Gone works very well.
