- allow it to release from the carpet fibers. Try one of these oils to get the gum off your carpets:
- Eucalyptus Oil
- Olive Oil
- Peanut Butter
- Apply oil to the gum with a cloth. Do not pour the oil directly on the gum; it is much easier to control where you are applying the oil when it is placed on a cleaning cloth first. Saturate the gum wad with oil by repeatedly applying oil with the cleaning cloth.
- Scrape the gum off gently using a butter knife. Gently lift the gum off the carpet by scraping a knife over the gum in the same direction each time. Wipe the gum off the knife blade after each pass to avoid re-applying the gum to the carpet. Rubbing back and forth may damage the carpet fibers and cause more damage to your flooring.
- Clean the area with dish soap and water. Once the gum has been removed there may be some residual oils left from the cleaning process. Mix a teaspoon of a grease fighting dish soap with a quart of water and scrub the carpet with a cloth dipped in the soapy solution. Source: WikiHow
