Rub ice on it,it'll freeze and you can crack it off in pieces. Good luck!

You need a petroleum based substance to remove the gum first. Vaseline or baby oil does really well. The Vaseline is less messy and it washes off a lot easier. After the gum is removed apply a stain remover such as Shout! Then wash your jeans on cold (this prevents fading) in a really good detergent such as Tide. After they wash check your jeans again. If the spot is still there, repeat the process. If not dry them as directed on the label.

No matter what you get bubble gum on or in, like hair (it happens) rub ice on it. The ice hardens the gum, removing the stickiness. Another option for your jeans, is to purchase a product called Goo Gone. The name is self explanatory. You should be able to find it most anywhere.

Just take some ice to it... it will make the gum really hard and you will be able to pry it off easier. There may be some residue left, just use some brown paper bag and an iron on low and that should do the trick good luck

Put them in a large, sealed freezer bag and whack them in the freezer for a few hours. Then, very carefully, chip off the hardened gum, piece by piece. Carefully, being the important word !

Freeze it with an ice cube, then peel it off with your fingers. Any residue left you can scrape with the straight edge of a razor blade on to remove.
Don't wash them before you get the gum off , and definitely DON'T dry them, you'll get gum everywhere.

Saturate the area with vinegar.The gum will actually dissolve,if the vinegar is heated first - the process will work faster.
Good Luck.

It should come out in the wash. Bubblegum is not cement. It'll come out, don't worry!

Freeze it, apply ice cubes and scrape with knife. Put the jeans in freezer if you have to
