How could I remove chewing gum from carpet?

[blinkbelle]

hi all.

Got myself into a sticky suitation!!

Anyone know how I could remove very well walked in chewing gum from carpet?

I havent touched it yet as I thought I might make it worse by scraping at it.

Hope someone can help me.

Try - letting it go hard, by using ice, and (with gloves!) peel ot off the carpet.

Just saw a WD 40 No Mess Pen in Aldi yesterday.. Claims to remove gum and other sticky labels etc..

€2 or maybe 3.99 I think!

Should I let the ice melt into it?

No the ice should make it get very hard and cold, as the gum gets harder it should peel off the carpet easier..
