If you accidentally sit on a discarded chewing gum, it can stick to your clothes. Read below to find out how you can remove chewing gum from cotton clothes.

Steps

1. 1 Fold cotton clothes carefully. Make sure the chewing gum area is outside.
2. 2 Place your clothes in a plastic bag or large resealable bag.
3. 3 Place the bag of clothes in the freezer for several hours. The elastic should freeze to make it easier to remove.
4. 4 Take the bag out of the freezer and remove the clothes from it.
5. 5 Place clothing on a firm work area. Use a plastic knife to clean the gum. Continue working with your knife or fingers until the clothing is completely clean.
6. 6 If anything remains, soak the garment in hot water and a little detergent.
7. 7 Wash your clothes as usual.

Tips

• Heat some vinegar on the stove or in the microwave, soak a toothbrush in it, and scrub your clothes.
• You can also try peanut butter or baby butter to remove the gum, but these products can leave stubborn stains on your clothes.
• You don't need to use the freezer to freeze the gum, you can simply rub the stain with ice cubes.
