Chewing gum on jeans

[Guest Guy H]

Got chewing gum on my Samurai's I've taken a knife to them to get as much off as posible. There is a bit left in the denim. Is there a way to get it off them or should I just give them a wash and see if it comes out?

throw them in the freezer overnight, then take a toothpick or a safety pin and get the rest out... should flake right off.

Cheers I'll try the Vinegar trick as what is left is well ingrained.

Or you can try to cool the chewing gum with an ice cube and then remove it w/ a toothpick.

It worked well on my A.P.Cs

[damnIam]

Chewing gum is only slightly less rude than spitting, god how I hate that stuff.

PICK OFF AS MUCH AS YOU CAN..

WRAP AN ICE CUBE IN CHEESE CLOTH.. RUB

THEN WIPE CLEAN WITH VINGAR SOAKED RAG.

GET SOME WEIGHT ON YOU LIKE THAT FAT BITCH DELLA REESE.

Ditto icecube. I use nail varnish remover. Works perfectly, although expect some indigo loss where you're picking the gum residue off.

OR you could take them to a dry-cleaner. Worked fine on my nudie RRDS.

Good luck either way man, chewing gum's a bitch.

Check your local hardware store, they should carry gum remover. Comes in an aerosol can. You spray it on and it deep freezes the gum but doesn't harm the clothing at all. You can just knock it off pretty easily after. Working at a clothing store I've done it a thousand times. The worst you'll have is a little ring where the gum used to be and that will wear off in a day or two.

Ok tried white Vinegar. It's pretty much all out. I used the end of a sharp knife to get the last bits off. The downside is that there is a loss of colour in that area now. may be better after a wash but I'll leave it for now.

Could be a really tough one, talk to a dry cleaners but make sure they are a reputable dry cleaners many dry cleaners can totally screw stuff up because they don't know/care about fabric or how it should be treated.

I think you will need to use a solvent start weak and work your way up.

I have tree sap on some work pants I used for tree planting and it never came out, it is still there and this is 4-5 years later, It looks like a rubbed crazy glue where the tree sap stain is it is a wet looking hard spot on the pants - normal washing won't take it out. I am also assuming this is coniferous tree sap your talking about?

[m1sterko]

not sure if mentioned but try using keyboard dusters

it should "freeze" the gum and usually you can just peel it off.

thats what janitors used for gum on carpet

[selaviso]

lol i was just thinking that haha.
