We've all had it at some stage: chewing gum in our hair, on our faces, stuck to our shoes or trod into our carpets. Here are some hassle-free ways to get rid of it.
If you are trying to get gum out of your carpets, sofa or other furniture, there is a way. Your carpet will require a deep cleaning involving a good deal of elbow grease, but there should be no lasting damage once you are done.
Do not use peanut butter. If you do your carpet or sofa will be covered in gum and peanut butter. The peanut butter trick is an old wives tale. It is about as true as the one about chewing gum staying in your stomach for seven years. If you’ve already tried to clean it with peanut butter, call an end of tenancy cleaning team or deep cleaning company. It will cost you, but they will use proper chemicals and equipment to remove and clean it for you, and you will no longer smell like watermelon gum and peanut butter.
Trying to remove the gum while it is still at room/mouth temperature is a bad idea. You will need to use either cold or heat. Gently rubbing the gum with ice in a plastic bag will freeze it, allowing you to scrape it off with a spoon, spatula or credit card. Heat can be applied with a hair dryer, but not so hot as to melt the gum fully into the carpet. Once the gum is nice and gooey, use a plastic bag or cling film to pull it off. In either case, use a product like Goo-Gone or some white vinegar to scrub off any residue. Your carpet will be gum free in minutes and no one will be the wiser.
