"If" (or rather, "when") you get your hands on a thing smeared with chewing gum, then you probably shouldn't run for some special "special gum stain remover."

Most likely, you already have it.

""The main problem with such stains is a very special "chewing base" that retains its plasticity and "stickiness" for a very long time, during which it manages to penetrate very well into the depths of the fibers.

The only way to remove it is physically, but for this it is necessary to strip the gum of plasticity, make it brittle and brittle, and then remove it in the form of lumps and/or dust.

The film magazine "I want to know everything" will not help in this, but an effective organic solvent such as DECAP from PYRAMIDS SHARON (France) can help a lot. It is necessary to moisten and soak the stain abundantly and thoroughly, leave it for a while for exposure, and then remove it using a spatula or brush.

However, it must be remembered that in this case the stain is removed due to strong mechanical action, therefore, special care should be taken to work on fabrics of delicate structure and/or with dyes that are not resistant to mechanical action (jeans, etc.).
