Answer Question

8 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Removing gum from clothes can turn out to be a tricky business. There are many ways of doing it but depending on the nature of the fabric. For instance a knife cannot be used on a silk dress but is handy for jeans. Today there are several gum removers in the market and they contain several chemicals that help to remove gum while citrus or citric acid is generally used as natural sources to remove gum. It is advisable to test the stain removing things on a safe place before using it on the actual fabric to be cleaned.

    A common way of removing gum from jeans is to harden the gum with the help of ice cubes. This exercise would take around 10 to 15 minutes. The gum can be scraped off manually once that the gum is frozen or hardened. Take care to ensure that the jeans don't get spoilt or torn. It can be laundered in the usual manner after this process.

    My son sat in gum on the bus so I looked on the web and found warm vinegar was good for removing gum from clothes. Was skeptical but heated up a little bit of vinegar (I had apple cider vinegar) for about 30 seconds in the microwave and then used a toothbrush to lightly scrub off. I was amazed, it seemed really ground in but came off in a minute.

      Put the jeans in the freezer. When the gum has frozen it is a lot easier to get off.

        I tried everything and this finally worked
        you heat up some apple cider vinegar in the microwave for about 30 seconds
        then with a tooth brush rub it on the area with the gum and it will come off right away:)
        good luck

          Ice is for sure the best way, doesn't hurt the fabric, and gets it all off, once it's frozen solid.

          Using Ice on your jeans works great. I put an ice cube on the gum stuck on my jeans for 20 min and it came off very easily. Try it! No chemicals, just ice!

          I have heard that ice or a ice cube will do the trick and use a tooth brush and as long as it is cold from the ice it will roll right off, have not tried it, have not had a problem with gum yet......the best to you
