There are several ways. None of them very easy. What kind of fabric would have been helpful! You are going to have to break down the composition of the bubblegum.
First put the garment in the freezer until the gum is completely frozen through. Pick as much out of the fabric as possible. Next take either peanut butter (which will be easier to wash out) OR WD-40 to break down the molecular structure of the gum. It takes a while and you have to keep working the spot. Don't use anything rough, like a toothbrush or you will end up distressing the fabric and making a hole. you have to rub it gently and keep dabbing the spot with a cloth the idea is to break down the gum and push it through the fabric.
Next you will have to get the oil out of the fabric. Best choice is to use DAWN dish washing liquid. Put a good lot of it on the spot rub it in and let it set for an hour or so to break up the oil. Wash the garment in cold water. DO NOT put it in the dryer until you are sure all of the gum is out of the fabric and the oil is gone. Otherwise you set the stain. Let it air dry and if the stain is still there do the process again.
Good luck. If you still need help e-mail me here! Nana

Sweetie, the ice is it! Depending on the size and amount of gum, either an ice cube or put it in the freezer. Make sure you can wash the garment.This is also the ideal way to get bubble gum (any type of gum) out of the hair. Some people perfer p-nut butter (because of the oil) but I always used the ice. Used it once on a mink coat (gently) and it worked wonderfully.

Put the item of clothing in the freezer. Once the gum has gone hard it will be easy to peel off

Put your clothes in the freezer and wait for bubble Gum to freeze, it will then be easier to remove.

If it's not really badly smudged into the clothes try freesing the gum with an ice cube and then just peel it off.

I've had success by putting them into the freezer for a couple of hours, then chipping the gum out.

Try freezing it which will make the gum brittle and you should then be able to get it off prior to washing. Better than putting chemicals on your clothes which may damage them.

First freeze it off. But 100% you will be left with a mark, so the way to remove the mark it leaves is this way , whip up 1 egg white put on top off the mark and leave for 10 min´s then wash on a normal wash. It work´s try for yourself
