remove gum stain?

Answer 1

1. Apply Gum-Remover directly to stain.

2. Score gum using a scraper or putty knife and allow gum remover to penetrate the soil.

3. Using a bone scrapper or dull knife gently agitate the solution.

4. After gum is removed rinse with water and blot dry.

Answer 2

If you have gum stuck to clothing or fabric try using ice directly on it and then you just have to sit there and pick the gum off and alternate between picking it off and more ice on the gum spot.

Also, they sell a Goo-be-Gone product in most stores that helps remove gum. Try that.

Answer 3

There is a product called "Goo Gone" it removes gum from clothing, fabric, hair etc. It's excellent

And removes all other hard to remove stains as well. Check it out...

Answer 4

Never heard of a gum stain, but if you are just talking about gum, there is a solvent called Ooops! that I use on my rentals. It removes dried latex paint too.

Good Luck

Answer 5

Place a bag of ice cubes on top to freeze it, then break off as much as you can. Clean off the remainder with a little white or methylated spirits on a cloth.

Answer 6

Vinegar apparently does the trick! Good luck!

Answer 7

HOW TO REMOVE IT FROM ANYTHING... IT'S ALL THERE.



A stick of gum can be relaxing and calming. Of course, that peaceful state of mind may end with a sticky stain. When that happens, here's some advice to chew on.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Acetate, Acrylic Fabric, Burlap, Carpet/Synthetic, Carpet/Wool,
Cotton, Fiberglass, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester,
Rayon, Silk, Spandex, Triacetate, Wool

Freeze (the method of using ice against the stain to make it easier to remove) until gum gets hard. Carefully scrape (the method of using a scraping tool to gently lift off excess solid or caked-on stains) or rub the matter from the fabric. Sponge with Afta Cleaning Fluid. Apply a dry spotter to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad dampened with the dry spotter. Let it stand as long as any stain is being removed. Change the pad as it picks up the stain. Keep the stain and pad moist with the dry spotter. Flush (the method of applying stain remover to loosen staining materials and residue from stain removers) with a dry-cleaning solvent. If stain remains, reapply the dry spotter and cover. Check the stain every 5 minutes and press hard against the stain when you are checking. Continue the alternate soaking and pressing until all the stain has been removed. Flush with the dry-cleaning solvent. Dry.

How To Make Wet And Dry Spotters
Dry spotter:
To make a dry spotter, combine 1 part coconut oil (available at pharmacies and health food stores) and 8 parts liquid dry-cleaning solvent. This solution may be stored if the container is tightly capped to prevent evaporation of the solvent. Mineral oil may be substituted for the coconut oil, but is not quite as effective.
Caution: Dry-cleaning solvents are poisonous and may
be flammable.

Wet spotter:
To prepare a wet spotter, mix 1 part glycerine, 1 part white dishwashing detergent, and 8 parts water. Shake well before each use. Store wet spotter in a plastic squeeze bottle.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From: Acrylic Plastic, Aluminum, Asphalt, Paint/Flat,
Paint/Gloss, Plexiglas, Polyurethane, Vinyl Clothing

Freeze until gum gets hard. Carefully scrape or rub the substance from the surface. With a clean cloth dipped in warm sudsy water, wipe the surface until all traces of the gum have been removed. Rinse well and wipe dry.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Bamboo, Cane

Freeze until gum gets hard. Carefully scrape any excess. Wipe with a cloth dipped in a solution of warm sudsy water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Rinse well and allow
to dry.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Felt

Since felt is not woven, but rather fused together, take every precaution in removing any excess gum as chunks of the felt may come with it. Freeze to harden the remainder and gently brush (the method of stain removal using a stiff-bristled brush) with a sponge or fine-bristled brush (such as a toothbrush). This should remove any excess that remains on the surface. In extreme cases, very carefully rub a razor blade with the nap. This will remove any stubborn matter, but will also remove some of the felt fibers. If stain persists, make a paste of cornmeal and a small amount of water and apply it to the stain. Give it plenty of time to work. When it is dry, carefully brush it off with the nap.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Fur/Natural, Fur/Synthetic

Take care not to remove the fur when removing the gum. Freeze to harden the remainder and gently rub it with a dry sponge or brush to remove the remaining gum. Very careful treatment with Afta Spot Remover Wipes, disposable cloths, works well. Another effective treatment is to dampen a sponge or cloth in the suds of a mild detergent and wipe in the direction of the nap to remove any sugary residue. Take care not to over-wet the pelt or backing. Allow to air dry.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Leather

Carefully scrape excess gum. Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge and scrub gently until matter is removed. Dry with a clean cloth. Follow with Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Linoleum, Vinyl Tile, Vinyl Wallcovering

Freeze the gum to harden it. Use a dull tool such as a metal spatula to scrape the brittle matter without gouging the surface. If there is any residue, try rubbing it with a cloth dipped in Afta Cleaning Fluid. Wipe gingerly, then rub with extra fine (number 000) steel wool. Wash the area and wax when dry.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Suede

Very carefully scrape to remove excess. Gently rub an artgum eraser over the remaining substance. If any stain remains, cautiously rub the spot with an emery board or extra fine (number 000) sandpaper. In either case, you are removing a fine layer of the hide, so work slowly and carefully.


Remove Chewing Gum Stains From:
Wood

Take special precautions in removing any excess so as not to remove any of the finish. Rub gently with a cloth dipped in the suds of hot soapy water. Rub only on the portion that is stained. Rinse by wiping with a cloth dipped in clear water. Wipe dry immediately and polish or wax
as usual.
