LANKAN	by cooking oil........or ..put clothes in freezer when froze simply pick off http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a97.asp

orfeo_fp	freezer

Maid Angela	Stick the whole thing in the freezer for 24 hours then break the chewing gum up into pieces

kentkat666	YUP!! Freeze it!! works a treat x

am n	freezer works, or you can get some chewing gum removal spray, place item in freezer for an hour or so. This hardens the gum enough to allow you to dislodge it. Any residue will flee the scene by soaking the area in white vinegar overnight. To remove gum from clothing – place item in freezer for an hour or so. ... Avon skin-so-soft bath oil mixed about ½ & ½ with alcohol is the best repellent. ...

bAbY♥cAkEs	i bet a million people are gonna say this to you but i will say it anyway, yes freeze the garment and then it should snap off

chereeboyle	De-Solv-It is a product I picked up at the hardware store in the cleaning aisle. It removes Chewing gum from clothes and crayon from walls and greasy spots from clothing. It is an orange based product. You may not have the same product in your country if you're not from Australia but look for an Orange based product and it should do fine.

oldguy	freeze it with ice cubes then break it off

grumpcookie	freeze the garment . then it should be brittle enough to pick off.

Shiel S	freeze the gum

Lynne B	Put the item into the freezer for a few days and you should be able to pull and peel it off easily. There is another product out there in an aerosal can that you spray on the gum and it freezes and you pull it off...go to your local hardware store and they should be able to help.

Kirsty	put the item in the freezer once it's gone hard it should peel right off

hayley m	ice gd luck

Brittany	Put the garmet in the freezer or rub ice on the gum until its frozen solid, then peel or pick it off. Don't wash the clothing before doing this, you will make it embedded in the threads.

sharon e	rub it with an ice cube

sue l	Put the item in the freezer for about an hour. Take it out and scrape the frozen gum off. It goes "bitty" and is much easier than trying to get the sticky mess off before freezing.

Red	Turpentine.

swayisonline	definitely freeze it, then it will peel off... out of hair? then ur on ur own haha

theresa d	freeze that gum off, put in freezer over night

doom92556	Peanut butter also gets gum out of things (it dissolves gum)

John P	Simply put the garment in the freezer. When the chewing gum gets hard and brittle, it simply breaks away from the fabric

Sahara	ICE CUBE

a1ways_de1_lorri_2004	use cotton wool behind the gum and sprinkle a little petrol on the area then rub with more cotton wool the petrol desolves the Guar Gum and allows it to be removed . then wash the item as normal to remove the smell of petrol .

zifi1957	As with other answers - like wax - freeze it and chip off as much as you can ..... you will probably be left with a grease mark - this can easily be dealt with by placing a folded piece of kitchen towel under the mark and then dabbing with some cottonwool that has some lighter fuel (the liquid petrol for lighters) ,,,, this should dissolve the stain and then you can wash it as normal.....

kyeshla1	Yup put it in the freezer then it should be brittle enough to break off.

MI5	Freezing it!

breaker	Use an ice cube or put it in the freezer, that seems to be the easiest way.
