Egg white: This is said to be one of the best methods of removing gum, even in hair. Put the white of the egg onto the gum and leave for a few minutes. The gum can then be worked out.
Freezing: Put clothes with the gum on them into the freezer; remove when solid and crack off.
Verdict: this only works if the gum is really hard, so you might have to put it back into the freezer a few times until it is all off.
Chocolate: Melt the chocolate and rub onto the gum, the chocolate apparently dissolves the stickiness and the gum can be brushed out.
We haven’t tried this one, but I don’t know many people who would be disciplined enough not to eat the chocolate before putting it on a gum stain.
Mayonnaise: We have tried this one in the past and it does make the gum very soft. It does leave a sticky residue though which will have to be washed out with soap.
WD 40: Although not classed as Green, this product is useful for a multitude of things. Spray it on to the gum, leave a while and work the gum out. We wouldn’t recommend you use this on your hair though!…
