Effective Ways to Remove Gum from Upholstered Furniture
Chewing gum can quickly become a nightmare when it sticks to upholstery fibers. Here are some effective and safe ways to remove it:
1. Freeze Method (Home Quick Fix)
- Place ice cubes in a plastic bag.
- Hold it against the gum for 5–10 minutes until it hardens.
- Gently scrape it off with a plastic scraper or butter knife.
2. Heat Method (Use With Caution)
- Use a hairdryer to soften the gum.
- Once it becomes pliable, lift it off carefully.
- Blot any residue with mild dish soap or rubbing alcohol.
3. Vinegar or Lemon Oil
Soak a cloth in warm vinegar or lemon oil and gently dab the gum area. This breaks down the sticky residue and helps lift it off natural fibers. Always test first in an inconspicuous area.
