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.

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

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.
