It sounds like alot of gum though for the usual ice cube trick. Try getting the clothes thoroughly wet, then put them in a bag and freeze that way. Next day open it up and crack it all open and see if you can chip it off that way. Follow up with a machine wash in warm or hot, if you can (not bleeding colors) :) Good luck!
* The clothes that smell of chewing gum can be washed in warm water with a bit of baking soda and your detergent, wash as usual.

Yes the other´s are right freeze it off. BUT, 100% after you remove the chewing gum, their is always a stain. So the way to remove this stain is like this, please try it works. whip up 1 egg white, lay over the stain the chewing gum has left, leave for 10 min´s , then pop into your machine on a normal wash. This should rid the stain

Rub the gum with an ice cube until it freezes, and then scrape it off with something blunt, like a butterknife. Peanut butter rubbed on it should also help, but may be messier in the long run.
I know this may take a while, depending on how many articles of clothing were affected, but it beats having to throw everything away.

try wd40 - this just fish oil. spray the areas let it set a few minutes, then pull the gum off with paper towels. Then relaunder your clothes.
It is for more than a squeeky door.

believe me peanut butter won't help, try using like a flat but thin object to scoop it out like a spoon or a stapler remover
