How to Remove Grum out of Carpet
1. Scrape away as much of the gum as you can using a spatula or spoon (to protect carpet fibers).
2. Vacuum or brush away loose pieces.
3. Rub the remaining gum with a plastic bag filled with ice until the gum is frozen.
4. Chip away the frozen gum fragments using a spatula or spoon.
5. Dissolve any final traces of the stuff by dabbing with a small amount of dry-cleaning fluid. Blot.
6. Blot on a detergent solution of 1/4 tsp. mild dishwashing liquid and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) warm water.
7. Rinse thoroughly.
Overall Tips:
You can try this remedy to remove gum from clothes or shoes, too.
Some citrus-based products, such as Orange-Sol or De-Solv-It, break down the stickiness of gum so that it is easier to remove.

Tips:
Dry cleaning fluid can be purchased at a home supply store or a dry cleaners.
Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the carpet before applying them to a large area.
Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.
As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and the cleaning fluids from the carpet. Don't rub.
If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.
Warnings:
Do not use nail-polish remover as it may bleach the carpe

Peanut Butter! If you get gum in your hair, on your clothes, or in your carpet, definitely peanut butter is the way to get it off. The oils in the PB break down the sticky-ness of the gum and make it a snap to remove. Oh, then use regular old carpet cleaner or a 1 part vinegar to 1/2 part soap & water solution (1 cups of vinegar to 1/2 cup of soapy water) to clean the peanut butter residue. Good luck!

You can try taking ice cubes and put it on the gum to try and freeze it or at least harden it, then the gum should almost break off the rug. Just keep putting ice on to keep the gum cold and it will harden.

Goo Gone works great. The directions are on the bottle, it is specifically for gooey messes, including gum. You can pick it up at Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Easy to use as well.

Put an ice cube on it. Then when the gum hardens and flakes vacuum it.

Take a cube of ice and rub it over the gum. once it becomes hard, just peel it off. it really works.
