Answer 10

Possibly.

Liquid nitrogen would be brilliant, but is difficult to get hold of.

Ordinary ice would be worth a try - just leave it on the offending patches until they turn hard.

Next step, try 'Dirt Devil' stain remover for bubble gum - usually does the trick. Use as directed.

Failing that, there are commercial chemicals (often at dry cleaners) which should work - providing the people using them know HOW to use them.

Hope that helps.
