How to clean chewing gum from carpet

Getting chewing gum stuck on your carpet doesn't have to be the sticky situation you predict! It is easy to remove from carpet if you follow Dave's simple steps and tips:


To remove chewing gum from your carpet:

1. Scrape away as much as possible from the surface using a blunt object, such as a spoon, to avoid damage to the carpet fibre.
2. Vacuum the loose particles away.
3. Rub the stain with ice to harden the gum. This will make it easier to remove.
4. Chip away the frozen gum using the same blunt object as before
5. Blot the final traces of gum using hot water.
6. Rinse clean

Dave's Tip:
Try to avoid using soapy detergents as they can often set the colour stain. Hot watr is often the best cleaning agent.
