Tips
Tools needed: Dry Ice, Whist Broom, Metal Blade (putty knife, dinner knife, or screwdriver)
remove as much of the excess gum as possible. Freeze the gum for about two (2) minutes, with the dry ice and at the same time freeze the tip of the metal blade. Break the gum into a powder using the metal blade, brush the residue into a dustpan and discard. If an additional treatment is needed repeat the process.
This tip works for carpet or hair. Use any kind of peanut butter, preferably smooth and not chunky. Rub the peanut butter on the gum. The oil in the peanut butter will dissolve the gum base. Wash with soap and water soon after because peanut butter may leave a spot on carpeting.
