Check out these tips on removing gum from your carpets, drapery, or furniture!

Freezing
- Take a plastic bag filled with ice. Take the bag and lay it over the piece of gum. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Once the gum has hardened, find something to scrape it from your carpet. Usually a spoon or a butter knife works well.
- Slowly scrape away as much as possible. You may want to refreeze the gum.
- After, grab a can of wd-40 and spray just enough to loosen up the left over gum.
- Finally, use a tiny bit of club soda and put it on the spot.
- This should clean your carpet back to normal!
- Repeat process as needed.
Heating
- For this process you will need a clean towel, an iron, and wd-40.
- Take your towel and lay it over the spot where the gum has settled.
- Move your heated iron back and forth across the towel – not so much that it melts the gum and mend it into the carpet fibers.
- After, pull your towel up a little bit and see if the gum has mended to the towel fibers. Peel slowly away.
- Repeat process a couple times with different towels.
- Use wd-40 and spray a little bit on the remaining residue.
- Use a spoon to scrape away any remaining residue.
- Pour a little club soda down and dab up as much as possible.
