Many people make mistakes when they try to get rid of gum. They stick it anywhere, without thinking that it might hurt and embarrass others. Once you sit or use one of these tools stick chewing gum to cut the clothes without attention, although this may happen at home also, we may miss or forget and put it randomly or that one of the members of the house, especially the young ones to surprise them later become attached to clothes .
Gum sticks very quickly and difficult to remove, especially after a long time, but each problem solved, and can solve this problem in several different ways, and the following are the most prominent:
- The kerosene is a traditional method that is widely used as a solution to this problem. We put a few points of kerosene on top of the chewing gum to make it dissolve and then clean it thoroughly so that the smell of kerosene does not hang on the clothing.
- The chewing gum can be removed by freezing, by placing the piece of clothing in a plastic bag while paying attention so that the gum does not stick to the bag itself. Then put the bag in the freezer for at least three hours.
You can also put a bag containing ice cubes or ice water and pour it on the gum stick, until it is well frozen and then removed by the knife.
- As an alternative to the freezing method, you can boil the piece of cloth that the gum sticks to in boiling water and very hot, then rub the gum with a clean toothbrush or knife, and then leave to dry.
- One of the easiest ways to use the adhesive tape by placing it over the piece of chewing gum completely, and then we strongly pressure them, and then remove them strongly until it disappears.
- Ironing pieces of clothing after placing a piece of cardboard on the place of gum adhesion, then begin to punch the piece of cardboard using the iron on medium heat.
- Heat the amount of vinegar in the oven or microwave and then soak the toothbrush inside well, and then begin rubbing the place of chewing gum on the piece of clothing, and can be wet brush and refining rubbing times and times until we get rid of chewing gum completely.
