OK, you know what happens, kids always love chewing on gum, and where do they put it when they have finished –ANYWHERE!
The first thing to do is to scrape as much as you can off with a knife. If it is on clothing, pop the garment into a bag and then put it in the freezer for an hour. If it is on the carpet or other item that you can't put in the freezer, use ice cubes to harden the gum.
Once the gum has hardened it will easily break up and come away.
If you there is still some staining left use a little white vinegar, but always test on a small piece of the fabric first.
