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?

Click to expand...

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