How to remove chewing gum on clothes?
One way to remove chewing gum from clothing is to freeze both the garment and the gum. A small item such as a sock or t-shirt can be placed in a plastic freezer or storage bag and stored in a freezer until the gum has become solid. Larger items can be rubbed with a single ice cube or a small plastic bag filled with ice until the gum hardens. Ideally, the frozen gum should break off when scraped with a knife or fingernails. If the gum becomes warm and soft, place it back into the freezer or apply another ice cube. Another recommended method to remove chewing gum is the use of warm vinegar. Using an absorbent cloth, warm white vinegar should be applied directly to the gum and surrounding area. The vinegar should penetrate the fibers of the clothing and dissolve the bond between the chewing gum and fabric. The gum should become soft enough to remove with gentle scraping. An exceptionally large patch of gum may require several applications of warm vinegar, and the garment should be launder
