Jeans in the Freezer
2004-09-06, 4:16 PM #1
so. I bought some new jeans (boys ones, because I no longer have a bf to steal clothes from :( ) and then went out clubbing, sat down in the stairwell and voila! chewing gum on my bum. I put them in the freezer, but it's still practically impossible to get it off. My mum says I'll just have to pick at it, but that seems far too much like hard work for my liking, I was wondering if anyone knew any other tricks.

Other than Fire...

That would look kind of cool though. Having scorch marks on your butt...

People would know not to mess with you, that's for sure.

sorry, can't say that I do. My mom's pin melted onto her favorite jacket and she couldnt get it off. so she stuck it in the freezer. when that didn't work she tried blow drying it just to melt it enough to get it off, but what she ended up doing was smearing it and it was still stuck on. just a related story I found amusing.

can't help you though.

I hate jeans.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

The only solutions I know of might ruin the poor jeans, :o but this one might work....I've actually heard that Wd-40 works for getting gum out of carpet-you just spray it on and peel it off. But as I said, it would probably ruin the jeans. :/

Doesn't peanut butter get gum out of hair relatively easy? maybe it would work in this situation.

I once ruined a perfectly good pair of pants on my first day wearing them, all thanks to gum. And that was the last time I ever got clothes worth more than 20 bucks.

hmmm... first i'll have to see your bum to make an assessment.
you can e-mail a pic of it to me. :p

It's sad. I don't know if Evad is directing that towards Maevie, or Flex.

I don't whether Goo-B-Gone (or however it is spelled) is safe to use on clothing, but I know it works really well with removing gum from carpet.
2004-09-06, 7:06 PM #22
I'd go with the vinegar idea from Det's link. It's colorless, even if I do hate the smell. And even that will go away in a wash.

Being a weak acid, it should disolve the gum perfectly, in theory. And there is no way it will damage the denim.

And this reminds me so much of that scene in the Simpsons episode "21 Short Stories About Springfield."

My mom used to buy this stuff that would get gum off clothes, but I don't remeber what it was called. Might try the laundry aisle at the local market and see if they have somethng that might work.

that happened to me, too in uni. some prick in the class before mine dropped gum on the seat (no motive or anything directed towards me) fortunately, someone in my class told me to place a piece of wax paper over the affected spot and then steam-iron the paper. It worked like a charm and dissolved the gum, although the spot still smelled minty for awhile. :)

Tried...didn't work. Or perhaps the blood wasn't so innocent. Hmmm...

thanks Pagewizard, I'm trying a long soak (to dissolve the sweeteners) as suggested by Roach, if that doesn't work, yours sounds pretty good.
