How to remove chewing gum?

Gasoline method

1. This is the simplest method. Drop gasoline on the area where the gum is stuck. Gasoline can dissolve chewing gum.

2. Wash your clothes according to the washing instructions to remove the gasoline smell from your clothes.

Freezing method

1. Fold the area of ​​the clothing where the gum is stuck outward.

2. Place the clothing in a plastic bag, making sure that no gum is stuck to the bag. If you can't solve the problem of the gum stuck to the bag, then you can just put your clothes on top of the bag.

3. Seal the bag and place it in the freezer for a few hours until it is frozen solid. If you place your clothes in bags, make sure there is enough space so that the clothes cannot touch other items in the refrigerator, except, of course, the bag they are placed in.

4. Take the bag containing the clothes out of the refrigerator, open the bag and take out the clothes. Use a blunt knife or butter knife to quickly peel the gum off the clothing (avoiding piercing the clothing). Don't wait until the gum thaws; it is easier to remove while it is solid. If the gum thaws before you can remove it, put the clothing back in the freezer or use ice cubes.
