Removing Gums from Clothes and Furniture
Published on Sunday, 02 August 2009
Does removing bubble gum from your clothes loses your temper? Don't lose hope. We have an easy trick for this problem. But first take note - the earlier that you had been able to detect the gum that stick in your fabric and furniture, the easier it could be removed. The things you need to prepare are: small ice cubes and butter shank. Using ice cubes First, patiently stroke the ice cubes in your fabric. Wait and see if the bubble gum is already frosen. When it is already frosen, it's a good sign. It means that you are almost half near your success. Use the table shank to break it, then scrape it off. Just be extra careful not to damage the fabric. If you are comfortable with doing it with your hands, you may do so. But for more delicate fabric it is safer to just remove the gum using only plastic shank or bottom of spoon. Peel or scrape until it has been completely removed. Then to remove the residue, you may use a brush. It is still best to wash it again. For small furniture, it is best to put it inside a freeser for a few minutes so that the gum will harden. Then proceed to the procedure mentioned earlier. Using a peanut butter Did it work? If not, there is another way to get rid of the gum from your clothes and furniture if the first method will not work. All you need is peanut butter as well as table shank. Like in a sandwich, spread the butter to the gum. Let the butter stay for about 15 minutes or more. Afterwards, scrape or peel it using your table shank or fingernails then better launder it again.
