How do you get CHEWING GUM out of clothing?

My husband left a full pack of spearmint chewing gum in his uniform pocket and i washed them with all of my other clothes and so now my clothes smell like chewing gum but also there is gum spread out all over my clothes how do i get it off??? its really sticky and kinda spread out not just in big clumps.???

How do you get CHEWING GUM out of clothing?
It sounds like alot of gum though for the usual ice cube trick. Try getting the clothes thoroughly wet, then put them in a bag and freeze that way. Next day open it up and crack it all open and see if you can chip it off that way. Follow up with a machine wash in warm or hot, if you can (not bleeding colors) :) Good luck!


* The clothes that smell of chewing gum can be washed in warm water with a bit of baking soda and your detergent, wash as usual.
Reply:try freezing thespots with an icecube then break the gum off your chothes
Reply:believe me peanut butter won't help, try using like a flat but thin object to scoop it out like a spoon or a stapler remover
Reply:there are a few things u can do


you can


(A) put ice on it or put it in the freezer it hardens the gum and or silly string/ silly putty and makes it easier 2 peel off


(B) put peanut butter on it


or (c) go 2 walmart and buy a can of OOPS
Reply:try wd40 - this just fish oil. spray the areas let it set a few minutes, then pull the gum off with paper towels. Then relaunder your clothes.





It is for more than a squeeky door.
Reply:Yes the other´s are right freeze it off. BUT, 100% after you remove the chewing gum, their is always a stain. So the way to remove this stain is like this, please try it works. whip up 1 egg white, lay over the stain the chewing gum has left, leave for 10 min´s , then pop into your machine on a normal wash. This should rid the stain
Reply:Rub the gum with an ice cube until it freezes, and then scrape it off with something blunt, like a butterknife. Peanut butter rubbed on it should also help, but may be messier in the long run.





I know this may take a while, depending on how many articles of clothing were affected, but it beats having to throw everything away.
