I managed to get gum on my husband's quilt.

I have tried ice, warming it from the back with an iron, laundering it. I have managed to remove a lot of the gum, but it is still there.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Janie

Goo Gone works really well for removing gum from fabric :D:D:D

My daughter got gum in her hair once and the babysitter recommended spraying "Shout" and I was able to get it all out . Maybe try that! I hope you find a solution and it comes out. :(

I used peanut butter on the kids hair but that might stain the quilt.

I would do this also.

If goo gone doesn't work you can try breaking down the gum with oil then use Goop to get the oil out. You might even have to use a little Goop to get the Goo Gone out. I usually do. Just rub a little in the oily spot and wash as usual.


I forgot to say that if you use oil, make it a light mineral oil, not cooking oil or car oil and only use it on the gum spot with a q-tip.

Be sure and tell us what works. Is that a little optimistic?

I would keep using the ice, the idea is to get it really cold so the gum freezes and will pull right off.

? Gum sticks to gum. ?
Got another stick?

This may sound really dumb, but what about freezing the whole quilt instead of using ice. It can't get any colder than that...then you may be able to flake it off with a knife or similar tool.
