Freeze it. They make a special spray that will do this for you. Once it's well below freezing, you can flake it off pretty easily.

Sorry about your problem!!! to get rid of chewing gum out of your rug, i'd reccommend masking the wanted spot with a skinny piece of plastic, which incorporates a ziploc bag. Then, use an ice dice to rub the gum, till it really is going to grow to be puzzling and brittle. you need to be in a position to scrape the gum precise off. i does no longer positioned the rug into the freezer, like some human beings were announcing, because this can effect in discoloration of the rug itself. if you're unable to get the gum out by the approach that I delineated above, there are a selection of tremendous rug cleansing products for sale on the instant, or you may take it to a specialist cleansing service (even with the undeniable fact that the ice might want to paintings!!). good luck!!!!!

Use creamy peanut butter. You may want to re-constitute the gum by heating it up with a hair dryer first so it becomes pliable again. Try to get the peanut butter underneath the hard gum and gradually work between the gum and the rug pile. After you get the gum off, dab up the oil spot left by the peanut butter with a wet rag that has a little dish soap in it. Good luck!

Try gently rubbing some pure eucalyptus oil into the gum mass, leave it to soften for a while, then carefully scrape it of with the back of a kitchen knife. White spirit should take away any residue. After it is dry, use a comb to bring the web nap back into form. Good for getting it out of kids hair as well, safe and I find pleasant to the nose,,, just be very careful not to get it into eyes and other tender places.

You could try Goo Gone. I've never tried on hard black gum. It did take fresh gum out of my daughters' hair. I bought it at Wal Mart.

WD-40. It'll make it soft and you can pull it right up off your rug. It took asphalt off my carpet that someone ding-a-ling walked through and then tracked through onto my carpet. Hope it works for your rug.

Use ice to freeze it and break as much as you can off. Then after it thaws us WD40.
