Hot White Vinager gets rid of gum in clothes Comments By: sdgsdfg Dip an old tooth brush into heated white viniger and work into the gum. Wipe off the tooth brush with a rag when needed and repeat the process. This is the best way to remove it. Don't waste your time with peanut butter or the freezer!   Hot White Vinegar Tip Comments By: Linda P.

It worked great!   School trousers saved! Comments By: Michelle Dunn This really works - my son had a thin layer of gum smeared all over the seat of his trousers.

Comments By: Mandy I could not believe my eyes this really worked THANKYOU SO MUCH, this saved my work pants.I must admit I tried the freezer thing first. I will be passing this one on Thanks again   Hot Vinegar Tip is Awesome! Comments By: Susan I just used the hot white vinegar to remove gum that had been sitting on my daughter's pants since last week because I wasn't sure what to do. With just a bit of elbow grease, because I used my husband's old splayed toothbrush and the pants were wet with ice cubes, I got the gum right out. Excellent tip.   Gum Removal from Blue Jeans Comments By: Deb I read the tip and tried the method of warm white vinegar and a tooth brush for removal. The gum sat on the pants for 2 weeks and when I gently scrubbed with the tooth brush it came right off. You will want to throw the tooth brush out when your done because the gum stays in the brissels.   Removing Chewing Gum with White Vinegar Comments By: Suzanne This is the first time I have found something to remove Chewing Gum from Clothing that really works.
