how do i get chewing gum out of my jeans?

Question

i have put them in the freezer and then tried to pick it off but it is too much like a smear. please help

Answer 1

Here is a website with different ways to get it out of clothes: From chocolate, mayonnaise, vinegar, peanut butter, lemon juice, and even WD 40. It says to saturate the gum in the vinegar as it will dissolve it and if you heat the vinegar first it works better. The website wouldn't let me copy and paste it, so here is the website: I also tried the ice, it didn't work for me either.

Answer 2

Reverse your process. Take an ice cube and rub it on the gum until it freezes (really freezes!). Then take a metal butter knife or metal spoon edge and scrape away the gum. Work in small areas, take it slowly.

If this does not work, there is a product sold in most home improvement stores called "Goo Off." It works wonders; however, make sure you test a spot on your jeans to make sure they are still color-fast after use of this product.

Good luck!!

Prayer is the only thing otherwise it's impossible to remove!

Look at the facts aside from its use as a delightful, chewable candy, chewinggum has many industrial uses. It is commonly used to patch up small holes in various pieces of machinery. In most major cities, chewinggum is used by the police to stop criminals in their tracks.

History of Chewinggum

Chewinggum was first discovered by Dr. Norman Hildebrand while he attended the 1954 premier of Them!. Upon sitting down at his designated seat, he placed his foot into a primordial solution of chewinggum. He isolated the element in 1956. It was banned in Singapore in 1957 for being "too jolly".

Chewing Gum: The Plague

In the 1980s, chewing gum became the stealth weapon of school rebels. Gum would be placed beneath tables, lying in wait for people's hands, and would cling to people's shoes and cause a sever case of medical embarrassment. The only place to have successfully combated chewing gum is Singapore, where chewing of any sort is punishable by hanging.

Its even used in Cricket to mend snapped bats for Godsake!

Start Praying!!!!!

Answer 4

Put ice on it to harden it and then scape off what you can. Repeat as needed. This should get most of it out. There are gum removers out there that dissolve it, but sometimes they take the color out too.

Answer 5

If none of the other ideas work, then you could get some blue tack, or something at least as sticky as the gum (or maybe more gum may work!) to sticky it of, but just dab at it, not punch it in, or it'll make it worse! Good luck!

Answer 6

freze oyur pants in a freezer and hte gum will freeze and it will just pull off unless you smeared it all over the pants

Answer 7

i would tell you to heat it pulling as much off after u use ice on it...melting ice will cool the gum down quicker then a frezzer that way you will be able to break small amounts out of the surface....Oh a bottle of time with elbow greese....yeah

Answer 8

try rubbing with a peice of ice

also... depending on where the gums located... if it's just impossible to get out, you could razor it off.... there'd be a faded spot... but that IS the style now.

Answer 9

smudge peanut butter on your hand and the gum and try to pull it off
