Chewing gum can be one of the most infuriating substances to remove from clothes. The sticky, elastic nature of gum means it clings stubbornly to fabrics, seeping into the weave and causing a mess that seems like a nightmare to get out.
Before you give up and consign your gum-stuck garments to the trash, rest assured that there are several effective methods for removing gum without damaging your clothes. These solutions make use of items often found in your home, saving you a trip to the shop and offering a quick fix to an annoying problem.

Freezing Method
1. Place the garment in a plastic bag with the gum facing up and make sure the gum doesn’t stick to the bag.
2. Seal the bag and put it in the freezer for a few hours until the gum hardens.
3. Once the gum is hard, remove the clothing and quickly peel the gum off with a knife or a credit card.
4. If any residue remains, scrub it gently with a toothbrush.
Liquid Laundry Detergent Method
1. Apply a dollop of liquid laundry detergent directly onto the gum.
2. Use a toothbrush to work the detergent into the gum and the fabric around it.
