Bubblegum trodden into carpet - help please!

3 replies

One of us has unfortunately brought a lump of discarded bright pink bubblegum into the house on the sole of their trainer, and some of it is now thoroughly attached to the carpet. Judging by the Olympic level of stickiness of the gum to the trainer, I'm dreading trying to have a go at the carpet.

Does anyone have any ideas please, and is it true about using ice cubes? Thanks

If you can freeze it it may go hard and brittle and you can snap it off the carpet - if that makes sense. Maybe use ice cubes ina bag so they don’t make your carpet wet as they melt?

Yes, ice packs are your friend here!
