What are some tips for removing chewing gum?

Chewing gum can be said to be a very popular delicacy in recent years. The main material for making chewing gum is edible gum mixed with sugar. It has a strong chewy texture and tastes very enjoyable. Once the sugar in the gum has been completely chewed out, it has no edible value and needs to be spit out. However, in the process of spitting out, it can easily get on clothes and furniture and is difficult to remove. Let's take a look at some tips for removing chewing gum.

1. Put the clothes with chewing gum on them in the freezer of the refrigerator for two hours, and you can easily peel the gum off the clothes. Or you can press a piece of ice on the chewing gum for a while, and it can be easily removed. For gum stains on clothing, you can first scrape them off with a knife, apply egg white on the stains to loosen them, then wipe them off one by one, and finally wash them in soapy water and rinse with clean water;

2. Apply medicated oil evenly on the area where the chewing gum is, and it will come off after a few minutes. 3. Place a piece of white paper on the area where the chewing gum is stuck and iron it with an electric iron for two or three minutes. The chewing gum on the clothes will be transferred to the white paper. 4. Drop gasoline on the area where the chewing gum is stuck. Gasoline can dissolve chewing gum. 5. Turn the side with the chewing gum over, apply a little white wine on the back and soak it for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn it over, dip a cotton swab in white wine, and scrape it slowly. The chewing gum will be removed gradually. In general, when chewing gum gets stuck on clothes, do not wrinkle the cloth where the gum is stuck, and do not rush to try to tear the gum off immediately, because this is likely to embed the gum in the seams of the cloth, which will be counterproductive. You should handle it calmly.

In addition to clothes, which are prone to getting gum accidentally stained, many naughty children are also prone to getting gum on their hands. Let's see how to deal with chewing gum on your hands: 1. Apply ice cubes directly to the hands where the chewing gum is stuck. Let it sit for a while to reduce the viscosity of the gum and make it easier to peel off. 2. Apply conditioner on the chewing gum and your hands, wrap them with a dry cloth or tissue, and you can easily wipe the chewing gum off your hands. 3. Rub with baby oil on a cotton pad to easily remove it.
