Chewing gum on Carpet, help!!

Tdh1987 · 15 Sep 2007 at 08:17

I've gave some friends a lift back from a night out last night, as one of my friends got out of the back of the car I noticed there was chewing gum on the carpet behind the seat. The car is only 6 months old :mad:

Any ideas how I can remove it? :confused:

Take carpet out & put it in the Freezer. Once frozen it will chip off nicely. Or if you can't get the carpet out use one of those fire extinguishers that will freeze it then chip it off

Buy that new non-sticky chewing gum

Yep, as said, freeze it, then chip it off!

Easiest way to freeze it would be an upside down sprayduster (can of compressed air).

I used a sharp modelling blade and sliced it out of the carpet, it caused minimal loss of the carpet strands and you cant even notice that there was any chewing gum there.

I had this problem and used Servisol Freeze It spray on it for a few seconds then scraped it off with a fork. It didn't leave a trace.

get some of that brown parcel wrapping paper stuff, place it over the gum and iron over it, it should lift right off
