PVerspeek Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 If some ice doesn't work, and you can remove the carpet (so if not the big carpet, but a small thing) put it in the refrigerator for a night. Tomorrow morning it comes off like nothing.. good luck Pascal do not use any chemical things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinSS Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ice has worked for me in the past. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsareslow Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks. I will try the ice thing today. Unfortunatly it isn't the carpet mat. It is the actuall capet, so removing it to put in the fridge is out of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchitwo Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ice does work great, but if you still have some trouble I've had luck with using Goo gone... It's like dissolve-it and works great for gum and things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 one of my previous jobs was cleaning cars and i found using brake clean with a high alcahol content works great. you know, the highly flamable kinda that if you spray something makes it very cold. i've found denco brand works the best. anyway, spray the spot pretty well with brake cleaner and the gum should just pull right up. it will pretty much freeze the gum taking away it's stickyness. works like a charm and the right kind won't stain the carpet either.

NateZ Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 You could also get one of those air in a can things and flip it upside down when you shoot it at the gum. All the CO2 will come out freezing as hell and that should freeze it instantly. The can will get cold as hell, wear a glove or somthing.

fox_forma Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The air in a can thing works great, i actually used dust off for a computer because couldnt think of anything else at the moment. Just shake it up real well and turn it upside down so its practically nitrogen and it will freeze it and you can pull it right off. I do like the idea of makin your girl chew it off tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rays B4U Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 My wife just removed some from her Impala's carpet using 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover. You can even send for a FREE SAMPLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsareslow Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for all the help. I got it out just fine. I used the ice thing first and it got most of it, then I used the air in a can, and pulled off the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
