“Damn chewing gum!” is what comes to mind when you see gum stuck on the pants of your kid that get home from school or from playing outside.

If the gum is not printed side to side of the pants, everything is not lost. Don’t try to get the soften gum out right away, you would only make it worst. Here is how to get rid off chewing gum on a pair of pants or every piece of clothing.

Put the pants in the freezer, the gum stain up side !

Wait for at least half an hour in order to let the gum become hard, side to side… not only on the surface. At that moment, you can take off the pants from the freezer.

Immediately, take a butter knife (or a knife that can’t cut) and raise the gum. If you need, you can rub gently.

Generally the results are pretty convincing.
