Gum on Your Clothes - We Know How It Feels! 😩

It's happened to all of us at some point - you're sitting on the bus, chewing gum, and suddenly it sticks to your jacket or jeans. Ugh! 😫 But don't stress, we at Brandosa have your back. We've gathered the best tricks to remove chewing gum from clothes, so you can save your favorite outfits from the sticky menace. Let's go! 💪

Trick 1: Freeze the Gum Off ❄️

One of the easiest ways to remove gum is to freeze it. Put the garment in a plastic bag and stick it in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once the gum is frozen solid, you can easily pick it off with your fingers or a knife. Voilà! ✨

Works best on: Thick materials like jeans, jackets, and bags.

Trick 2: Use Household Items 🧴

Did you know that common things you have at home can help you get rid of gum? Try one of these methods:

• Rub the gum with isopropyl alcohol or nail polish remover until it dissolves
• Pour some vinegar on the gum and let it sit for 15 minutes before scraping it off
• Smear peanut butter on the gum and let it sit for 10 minutes - the fat makes the gum easier to remove

Warning! ⚠️

Always test on a small, hidden part of the garment first to make sure the material doesn't get damaged. Some chemicals can discolor or ruin delicate fabrics.

Trick 3: Heat It Up 🔥

Sometimes it's better to warm up the gum instead of freezing it. Hold a hair dryer over the gum stain until it softens and becomes easier to pick off. You can also iron over the gum with a sheet of baking paper between the iron and the fabric - the heat makes the gum stick to the paper instead. Pretty smart, right? 😉

Trick 4: Specialty Gum Removal Products 🛒

Is that really a thing, you might wonder? Yep! If the home remedies don't work, you can try store-bought gum removers. They often contain freeze spray that hardens the gum and makes it easy to scrape off. Just follow the instructions on the package carefully!

How to Avoid Getting Gum on Your Clothes in the Future 🙅

Okay, now you know how to remove gum - but how do you make sure it doesn't happen again? Here are our top tips:

• Be careful when chewing gum - avoid laughing or talking too much so it doesn't fall out! 😅
