How to get gum off a bathtub?

Question

Hello, it seems my friends in a drunken stupor thought it would be funny to put gum in my bathtub... and then smear it around.

I have to move out in a week b/c my lease is ending, and I have been trying VERY hard to get the gum up, but all it seems to do is get thinner and more spread out more!

Please help me!

I have tried using a spoon, a knife and a kitchen sos pad to get it up and all have failed. :(

Answer 1

try buying this stuff called goo b gone it works great on sticky stuff. its only like $4.00 at the hardware store.

Answer 2

Put peanut butter on it. Something in the oils makes the gum release. It definitely works for hair (experience with my little brother!) so I'm sure it owuld work on a smooth surface.

.. Use creamy!

And yes, it's adding more mess, but at least it'll be clean eventually!

Answer 3

You can use a hairdryer on low heat, the gum will become soft which can then be rolled up into a ball and removed. You can also put a small amount of lighter fluid on it, this will help soften the gum so it can be removed easily. I think you can also find gum removal solvents at most hardware stores.

Answer 4

Get some lighter fluid, It will eat that gum. It will even get it out of clothes.!!
