Chewing Gum - Grrrrr

Featured Replies

Quite annoyed really. :mad:

Didn't realise I had some gum on my shoe and it is now firmly gummed in to the drivers mat!!!

Does anyone know a way I can get this off without ruining my mats??

Cheers

Put your mat in the deep freezer then scrape off the frozen chewy

I was advised to freeze the garment (a coat in my case) and chip the gum off whilst it could be fractured into bits. It worked well.

Cool,

Will give it a try.

Shreds is on nights so I can smuggle it in too!!

you can buy "freeze spray" ......spray it and then hit it with a hammer and it shatters

Freezing it definitely works, or you can buy bubblegum remover. I'm sure SWMBO has a litre of it knocking about.

If you cant remove the mat.Use a large ice cube and rub it over the gum and then break it out in small pieces.

Was gonna suggest liquid nitrogen, but think the freezer idea may be easier/more accessible :rofl:

If freezing doesn't work, there is a chewing gum remover in the Stain Devil range.

Hi all,

ta for all the advice. The freezer failed so I popped to our local wilkinsons to try and find some of the stain devil stuff. Antway I got this spray on stuff for £3.99 which I am pleased to say has worked a treat.

The mat is now clean again.

Cheers

You could have tried peanut oil as that will work :)
