I have this polar fleece blanket that somehow managed to get chewing gum stuck to it. As polar fleece is quite fluffy, the chewing gum has adhered itself very well. I've tried the usual stain removers and laundry detergent in an attempt to break it down, but it didn't work. Is there a safe, effective way to remove, break down or dissolve the gum? Without ruining my blanket? :)

There is always goo gone.
It's oily and pretty good at breaking the hold of gum.

Freeze it. If it is cold enough it will break right of.
Basically if you try to disolve it you add to the problem. The more you ad solvents the more sticky it gets. Specially fluffy stuff takes 'solving this problem' pretty bad.
Use liquid nitrogen to get best result...
...Come to think of it. Beter let someone do this that has equipment to handle extreme cold.
After the bulk has gone you could try disolving the rest with peanutbutter, 'Goo-be-gone' or what have you. Be sure you can machine wash your blanket if you try this. If you can't stick with freezing.
Good luck

i had a really bad case of chewing gum on my skirt (never sit down outdoors before checking if there's no gum!!). i had it in the freezer for a week, but it didn't help since the gum was really in the fabric. i heated up some vinegar in the microwave, put the stained area in the cup for about 10 min. and rubbed it away with a toothbrush.. worked perrrrfectly!! now the skirt is in the washing machine and it should be all nice and clean!!
