Chewing gum can be easily removed by freezing it. It then breaks easily and can be removed from all types of clothing... The remaining stains can be removed with a little ether or vinegar on a cloth.
To freeze chewing gum, you can choose to use an ice cube. There are also special spray cans available commercially that allow you to easily freeze the gum quickly. If you happen to have a can of lighter gas at home, this works perfectly as well, since lighter gas has the same effect as nitrogen. You can also opt to put the entire garment in the freezer for a few hours (but make sure to put your clothes in a plastic bag first!!), but then you must handle the garment carefully while frozen: once frozen, the fabric of your clothing can break easily!
Chewing gum in textiles or hair can also be removed very effectively with oily products such as peanut butter, baby oil, and butter. The gum will become very soft, making it easy to remove. It becomes even easier if you simply spread some peanut butter on the gum and then wash the garment at 40 degrees. No grease stains from the peanut butter will be left behind.
Chewing gum on textiles (or floors) can also be effectively removed with white spirit, acetone, thinner, or turpentine and a piece of paper towel. Dampen the paper with the white spirit and then gently rub over the stain. It works perfectly, and the color of your clothing remains perfectly preserved! Afterward, let the garment air dry for a while to get rid of the smell. This works especially well with velvet.
You can remove chewing gum from wooden surfaces by applying some toothpaste and rubbing it lightly with a cloth.
If you find chewing gum on your car roof, apply some lubricant (WD-40) from a spray bottle and then wipe it away with a paper towel... Gone within 5 seconds!
