How to get gum out of your Carpet

There is nothing worse than getting gum stuck in the carpet. We have some great tips on getting it out.

Here’s what you need to do to remove gum from your carpeting successfully:

  • Place an ice pack or a few bagged ice cubes on top of the gum.
  • Leave the ice on the gum until it is entirely frozen and very hard to the touch.
  • Use a dull knife or putty knife to scrape the gum from the carpeting.
  • When you’re doing this, the gum should be frozen enough to crack and chip away as you scrape at it.
  • Continue scraping until there is no more visible gum on the carpet.
  • Using a gentle dish soap or white vinegar, clean the spot with a towel and vacuum it up until its completely dry.

This method also works on Play doh stuck in the carpet as well.
