Chewing Gum
Custom — Freeze & crack (4 steps)Few sights are more dismaying than a wad of bright pink bubble gum ground into your carpet fibers. Keep calm — these easy steps will lift out the sticky blob.
Steps
- Scrape or blot away as much gum as you can pull out of the carpet.
- Harden whatever remains by placing ice cubes on it.
- Once frozen, crack the gum apart with a blunt object like the back of a large spoon.
- Vacuum the fragments up quickly, before they thaw.
Important:Not every carpet fiber responds the same way to stain treatments. Before trying any of the methods above, check with your fiber manufacturer for their recommended care guidelines — skipping this step could void your warranty. For more information, contact your local First Floors store.
