To get rid of any kind of gummy stuff (as long as you are OK with washing it), WD-40 works like a charm. It doesn't take colour out. Then, you can hand or machine wash it with a product like Dawn dishwashing soap to get rid of the WD-40 and the residue. My old dog once ate a tube of bright red lipstick that my daughter used for dance recitals, then proceeded to throw up several times on our grey rug. (We were out at the time.) I tried many kinds of carpet cleaners on the violently red patches with no result. As a last ditch measure, I sprayed it with WD-40 and the stain came out completely!
