Help - Gum on My Dress

Chase is almost as addicted to gum as his Grammy is - almost. He opens packs and packs - I have found him with at least six minty Orbits in his little mouth. Anyhow, I just sat down on a chair and he had left a little present for me! Arg! How do I get gum out of a dress? Is it hopeless?

Yay! You know me...if there is something to clean- I'll find a solution! For gum I would try Goo Gone. If it is a delicate dress try an ice cube to freeze the gum and then try to peel it off. Let me know how it turns out!

i was going to say put it in the freezer, then try to scrape it off. that's stinky. :)

doesn't it disintegrate when you rub peanut butter or vegetable oil on it? be careful not to get the oil on the rest of your dress, but rubbing the peanut butter directly on the gum should take it out.

for the record - the freezer doesn't really work - it unfreezes too fast to make a huge difference - but the goo gone worked wonders
