How do you get bubble gum out of carpet?

1. Freeze it. Place an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas on the gum for at least 30 minutes. This will harden the gum and make it easier to remove.

2. Scrape it off. Once the gum is hard, use a butter knife or a credit card to scrape it off the carpet. Be careful not to damage the carpet fibers.

3. Blot it with a solvent. Apply a small amount of a solvent, such as rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover, to a clean cloth. Blot the gum with the cloth until it is removed.

4. Rinse and vacuum. Rinse the area with water and blot it dry. Vacuum the carpet to remove any residual solvent.

Tips:

* If you are unable to remove the gum with the above methods, you may need to have it professionally cleaned.

* Test any cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet before using them on the entire area.

* Do not use harsh chemicals, as they may damage the carpet fibers.
