How to remove gum

There are three main groups of ways to remove gum - using heat, cold or chemical solution (or oil). But all of them can be used only if the mechanical method did not help - in fact, most of the gum is scraped off the clothes, and then rubbed off with a toothbrush.

A small thing can be put in the freezer for a few hours in a package, or even a day. The gum will become brittle and peel off easily. If a trace remains, it can be removed with nail polish remover. For colored fabrics, do not use liquid with acetone. You can also use alcohol.

You can also remove the gum table vinegar (3-15%, but not on delicate fabrics). Soak it in vinegar or separate it with a vinegar-soaked toothbrush.

I use thermal method, you can pour plenty of water on the cloth with the chewing gum at a temperature of 80-90 degrees. It will melt and drain.

You can also use an iron, but not at its highest power. This method is ideal for removing gum from furniture. A sheet of paper is placed on the chewing gum, which is well ironed with an iron. She must fall away.

If the item is expensive, and the gum does not peel off, try a special gel for removing plasticine and gum - it chemically affects it and removes it very well, but first try the product on an invisible part of your clothes (for example, on the inside of the cuff).
