Gum on pants - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yes... Yours Truly had the horrifying experience of sitting in gum. In her favorite pants.

I got most of the Winterfresh (yuck) off with an icecube, and then I tried freezing them, but that didn't work. There's still little pieces on there.

Anyone have any remedies, ideas, etc?! I want my pants back

I was in the same situation one day in 8th grade. Someone chewed gun and had the indecency to leave it on the seat.

I forget what it was but I got it out completely using some spray. It removes gum from surfaces among other things. I don't know what the spray was or if there are any similar products but I'm pretty sure you'd probably find it in some store.

I have heard peanut butter works, since it has acids in it that dissolves the gum...But, I've heard that tip works best when you get gum in your hair, so I dunno. You could try it though...peanut butter shouldn't stain permanently and it should come right out with a wash.

Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm going to try the peanut butter first, seeing as it's 9 at night and I don't feel like going to the store

there's this product...goo goo gone (i'm serious) and it takes away stickers, gum, anything sticky. there's tons of these and different products for these lovely occations in the market or target or walmart.

Ahhh I used that today....I had a sticker on my Bible that I couldnt get off....yeah.

Anyways, I sat on gum last year and after a lot of picking at it, it just came out in the wash.

I've heard of it. Is it either yellow or orange? Somebody I know had a bottle of that.

That goo goo cream does wonders... I had the unfortunate incident of someone putting gum in my hair. Another teacher was able to get it out and the whole incident was done within about 5 minutes... and I went right back to class.

This is true, and it's happened to me before with gum too- Get a brown paper bag, and lay the part of your clothes with the gum on it- face down on the paper- then iron over the spot- most of the gum should melt real quick and go right to the paper bag.
