How to Remove Gum from Clothing

[size=-1]While not as nasty as chewing gum in the hair, chewing gum on your clothes can be an icky mess - especially if it has been through the dryer. Fortunately, it's easy to fix this problem.

Once a friend of mine told me that her mom boiled up some water in a pot and while it was still boiling dipped the spot of clothing with the gum into the water. But it was with a pair of jeans though. But she said it worked great. Melted the gum right off. I also heard of sticking the clothing artical into a plastic zip lock like bag and sticking into a freezer for a few hours then picking it off as soon as you pull it out. Also I heard this stuff called Goo Be Gone or Goo Gone something like that works wonders on clothes with gum on it.

 

pour a can of coca-cola in to the wash with the clothes... it dissolves the gum, grease, oil, whatever...
