Tips for Removing
CHEWING GUM

We sell two bottled spotters that can help to loosen, soften and remove gum. One is called "Dissolve Away" and another called "Ultra." Check out our "Bottled Chemicals" section by clicking here.

TIPS FOR REMOVING GUM: With a dull knife or the edge of a spoon scrape away as much of the gum as possible. Vacuum up the bits of gum that you were able to loosen. This step alone may take several attempts. Next, rub the gum with a piece of ice and continue to scrape the gum out of the carpet with the edge of a spoon. To remove final traces of the gum saturate the stain with a cleaning fluid, repeating applications as necessary. If a sugar stain remains, sponge it off with water and or a mild liquid cleaning detergent.


NOTE: Some products like hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, bleach or alcohol can actually bleach or change the color in some fabrics. Read the WARNING notice below and always proceed with caution.
 WARNING: Before making any attempts to remove spots, always test fabric for colorfastness first by applying a small amount of the cleaning solution or chemical on a hidden or unnoticeable area. The tips listed here are not guaranteed to work with every carpet or upholstered item. When using any chemical or liquid on fabric you should PROCEED WITH CAUTION. If you are unsure as to how your carpet or upholstery might be affected you should call a professional cleaning technician in your area.
