Chewing gum

[luvduvs]

I have chewing gum stuck on my car mat - looks to be a day or so fresh.

Anyone got any advice on the best way of getting rid of it which will leave minimal marks?

scrape away as much of the gum as you can using a spatula or spoon (to protect carpet fibers).
Step2vacuum or brush away loose pieces.
Step3rub the remaining gum with a plastic bag filled with ice until the gum is frozen.
Step4chip away the frozen gum fragments using a spatula or spoon.
Step5dissolve any final traces of the stuff by dabbing with a small amount of dry-cleaning fluid. Blot.
Step6blot on a detergent solution of 1/4 tsp. Mild dishwashing liquid and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) warm water.
Step7rinse thoroughly.

Im not sure about Step 5-7, but I do recall ice cubes being used on chewy before

Awesome & thanks - would it leave any marks you reckon?

Hmm, it might, but I think that step 6 would get rid of any marks it left.

Bought something similar to this for a couple of bucks today.. let's see if it works (designed to get rid of chewing gum and other things):

My choice would be to find the person who dropped it and make them lick it off.:bang:

I still need him to get me a good home loan deal, so maybe after the paperwork is done :devil:
