Gum stains Freeze them out

To remove gum from clothing, freeze the article of clothing, and chip off as much of the gum as you can with a dull knife. Let it return to room temperature, dampen a cloth with dry-cleaning solution or lighter fluid and rub on the gum. Launder as usual. Or, saturate the gum with salad oil or peanut butter, and work off the gum. Launder as usual.
