I changed around my daughters bedroom today, only to discover old chewed gum stuck in a couple different places under her bed.......anybody have any tricks to get this up?

I just read this in a magazine and looked it up, here's the copy and pasted part:


"A faster way to freeze the gum and remove it from your carpet is by using a can of air meant to clean your electronics. These cans are meant to be used right side up, but if you shake them or turn them upside down you will find they become cold. Turning the can upside down while spraying the gum will spray a shot of liquid onto the gum that freezes it instantly. Once the gum is frozen you can whack it with whatever is close by (hammer, umbrella handle, broom or whatever) so that it shatters into pieces and then you can vacuum it up or pick up the pieces."



The other optioins were freezing it and liquid( Seabreeze, other liquid ckeansers), but they would probably make a mess.

Good luck!

Thanks Flipper, I'm going to give this a try later!

I know that when we used to get gum in our hair when we were younger, my mom would rub it with peanut butter. It would basically dissolve the gum and then you just have to clean up the peanut butter.

I've been told olive oil will remove gum also.
