Answer 1

Tools & Techniques:
Remove all excess material before attempting to clean. Remove by gently scraping off the excess gum (first place an ice cube in a plastic bag and rub over the gum to make it hard). Blotting is the act of using a terry towel or an absorbant towel and applying pressure to the stain with the dry towel, in effect transfering the stain to the towel. It is important to use a clean preferably white towel.

Apply a small amount of a volatile solvent and blot with a white terry towel.
Repeat this until the stain is removed or until no more of the stain will transfer onto the towel. Do not use solvents such as: gasoline or paint thinner.

Volatile solvents, such as acetone, nail polish remover or dry cleaning solvent, are available at some grocery stores or at your carpet cleaning supply retailer. A volatile solvent will dissipate at room temperature and will leave no residue. If you are using non-volatile solvents they must be completely rinsed with a volatile solvent. Non-volatile solvents (if left in the carpet) can cause delamination in synthetic carpets either immediately or over a period of time.

Sounds silly but put the jeans in the freezer to freeze the gum and then just pull it off.
