I've gotten chewing-gum on my work uniform, and I really need to get rid of it soon.
I know there are about 10 methods that are supposed to work, but in the interest of speed and efficiency, can someone provide one they *know* works?

That´s the easy part getting it off, 100% chewing gum always leaves a mark when you freeze it off. So for this , you whisk 1 egg white and leave it over the stain for 10 min´s , then pop into your washing machine on a 40ºc normal wash. This will remove this stain

i had a really bad case of chewing gum on my skirt (never sit down outdoors before checking if there's no gum!!). i had it in the freezer for a week, but it didn't help since the gum was really in the fabric. i heated up some vinegar in the microwave, put the stained area in the cup for about 10 min. and rubbed it away with a toothbrush.. worked perrrrfectly!! now the skirt is in the washing machine and it should be all nice and clean!!

Put some Shout stain remover directly on the gum and then scrape it off...I've used this method several times on my kids clothing and it always works. The stain remover somehow helps to loosen the gum. This method is much faster than using an ice cube or putting your clothing in the freezer. Hope this helps.

I can tell you for sure. I had 3 girls and gum was a problem. I found that ice cubes did a great job. Hold it or lay it on the gum and get it cold. Then while still cold chip gum off.

Goo Gone.. Try a small spot to make sure it won't ruin the material but I've never had it ruin anything for me. My kids always manage to get gum or sticker residue on their clothes and I use it all the time. You can get it at Walgreen's or CVS.

Ice is the best I've seen for fast results. Goo gone will work, too. But I wouldn't use it on a work uniform.
Fyi though, my carpet guy (installer) tells me Windex really does work on almost everything. And here I thought the Greek dad in that movie was nuts! Lol.

put ice cube directly on the gum and hold it there for a minute. Then pick off the gum with your fingernail...it will be rock hard and chip off.

Put your uniform in deep freezer. You can remove the gum after few hours.
