This post continues our series on how to remove some of the toughest stains.

Gum

So it’s happen to everyone, you go to sit down and suddenly feel a squishy feeling in your seat. Once you realize you’ve gotten gum on your favorite slacks it’s now time for action. If it is feasible at that time take off the garment that has the gum attached. Next place a bunch of ice cubes in a plastic bag and place it on the area where the chewing gum is located. You want to make sure you rub the bag on the gum to loosen it before any other action is taken. Next place the garment inside of the freezer to harden the affected area. Finally the chewing gum will freeze and become hard allowing you to easily remove the gum from the affected area and should not leave a stain. And that’s it!
