| Re: Chewing Gum - Grrrrr I was advised to freeze the garment (a coat in my case) and chip the gum off whilst it could be fractured into bits. It worked well.

| Re: Chewing Gum - Grrrrr Freezing it definitely works, or you can buy bubblegum remover. I'm sure SWMBO has a litre of it knocking about.

| Re: Chewing Gum - Grrrrr Was gonna suggest liquid nitrogen, but think the freezer idea may be easier/more accessible  Steve

| Re: Chewing Gum - Grrrrr If freezing doesn't work, there is a chewing gum remover in the Stain Devil range.

| Re: Chewing Gum - Grrrrr Hi all, ta for all the advice. The freezer failed so I popped to our local wilkinsons to try and find some of the stain devil stuff. Antway I got this spray on stuff for £3.99 which I am pleased to say has worked a treat. The mat is now clean again. Cheers
