how to get gum out of clothes!

Help!
My DS got gum all over his best shirt! Does anyone know how to get it out?


TIA

You can try freezing it with an ice cube then picking it off
Good Luck!

I sat in a big wad of gum (probably a whole pack) the other night at my DS's hockey tryouts. Obviously there were no ice cubes around but I used cold water and paper towels and was able to pick it all off! What a mess but it did work!

I'm sure the ice cubes will work great!

Good Luck!

I remember my Mom using lighter fluid to get gum off of my clothes. Of course, you'd have to wash them very well afterwards...

Try a product called Goo be Gone. You can buy it at stores like Walmart, Target, etc. Its great for gum on clothes, stickers on walls, anything sticky.

Peanut butter works for us every time -- even on gum in hair. Good luck!

You should have sat on the ice

We used peanut butter before also--worked very well.
