How to remove chewing gum from clothes

A chewing gum stain on things can be a problem. To restore a damaged item, it is necessary to first treat the contaminated area.

1. Freeze the gum
To easily remove the gum from the fabric, send the pants or skirt to the freezer. Sometimes it is enough to add an ice cube to the stain.

2. Remove the chewing gum
As soon as the gum becomes hard, simply remove it by hand or gently scrape it off with a spoon.

3. Get rid of the stain
If there is a mark on the clothes after you removed the chewing gum from it, you need to soak the thing in warm water with the addition of washing powder.

4. Soak the contaminated clothes
Leave the dirty thing in warm water for an hour. Make sure the water completely covers the fabric. Professionals advise placing a towel-rolled roller on top of the garment to completely submerge the item in the soaking solution.

5. Send the clothes to the washing machine
Start the washing machine with the settings corresponding to the icons on the garment label.
