  1. I use peanut butter to get rid of gum. Rub a little peanut butter into the gum, the gum should start turning into little balls. Wipe them up with a paper towel and keep rubbing peanut butter into the gum. When you think you have all the gum, put a laundry spot remover where the gum was and wash the jeans. Line dry them, don't put them in the dryer, to make sure that you got all the gum out. This has always worked for me. Hope it helps. Good luck!


  2. Peanut butter 'cuts' bubble gum. You have to rub it in real good but it's a hassle and can be a mess. Maybe use a toothbrush.

    The idea behind ice is that if you freeze the gum you can pull it off. It works - but you gotta freeze it. With jeans, I'd roll them up (with the gum on the outside) and put them in the freezer for a day. Probably in a plastic bag. When the gum is frozen hard, you should be able to pick it off.

    Good luck.

  3. Put them in the freezer for a hour  with the gum exposed it should then be able to be removed

  4. I would try a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol.  It should loosen the gum where you could scrape it with your fingernail and pick off the pieces that are left. I also use Crisco oil poured onto a paper towel to remove anything sticky from other objects. If all else fails, you might try this and then spray it with a stain remover for clothes, to remove the oil. I like Shout stain remover. Then, wash your jeans either in cold or warm water. Good luck.
