How can I remove gum from furniture?

Answer by  MMarie (90)

Well due to some of my past experiences, for me the best way to remove gum from most types of furniture is to use ice! What you do is you get an ice cube and just run it over the gum that's on the furniture. This makes the gum hard and easy to pick off.

Lighter fluid applied to a rag and rubbed gently on the gum can be used on furniture that the lighter fluid would not damage. If on a couch or other fabric I have just let the gum dry and then picked it off with tweezers or some other small instrument that won't put a hole in the fabric.

You can get gum off of furniture in several different ways. One way to do it is by using rubbing alcohol. By dabbing it on the spot the texture of it will work lose the gum from the item. Also another way is to use butter or cooking oil. It has alomost the same effect as the alcohol does.

It depends on what type of furniture that gum is stuck to, but in many cases you can just scrape it off with a table knife. Another option is to apply an ice cube to it; chill the gum and it will stay together as one mass and is easier to remove.
