That is why you need tried and tested hacks, especially when it comes to stubborn chewing gums that have settled in the carpet and also seem to remain there. Don't worry, there are actually a few tricks that will solve the problem in the zero comment and you do not need chemicals, but only a few things you already have at home. So let's get started so that you can immediately remove the chewing gum from the carpet!
1. Disinfectant for hands
Perhaps the best carpet against chewing gum: The times of constant disinfecting seem to be over, but maybe you still have one or the other disinfectant at home. Or you can buy a new one for the cleaning project. There are bottles in pocket format so that you don't have to take a big one. What is meant are the viscous agents that are reminiscent of soap.
- Disinfectant
- Old toothbrush
Put a small amount of the means of chewing gum. Make sure that it is completely covered. Start brushing hard over the chewing gum with the toothbrush. Work the disinfectant well. The rubber will come loose relatively quickly and even completely. You can then rub the remnants of the agent with water and a cloth.

Frozen chewing gum crumbles and can then be pulled off without any problems. For this purpose, simply fill a lockable freezer bagwith ice cubes. You can also use cooling packs. Place the ice on the spot and leave it there for half an hour. After the time has ended, the chewing gum should be rock hard and can be pulled off. You can also use a spatula and carefully scrape off the rest.

3. Use a hair dryer
The exact opposite of the ice cubes, but with the same result: a pure carpet. Heat the stain with the hair dryer for a while. This makes the chewing gum, as you can think, very soft and sticky. This is exactly why you shouldn't just try to pull it off after that - you would guarantee that you would quickly despair. Instead, take a piece of plastic film, for example, and press on the rubber. As a result, he sticks to her gluing and is pulled off.
4. Remove the chewing gum from the carpet with vinegar
If you are looking for home remedies more often, you will not surprise you to find vinegar in our list. This practical all -purpose agent can also help you with chewing gum, which have landed where you don't want it.You need vinegar essence more preciselythat you drop on the chewing gum (it is best to test beforehand in a non -visible area to ensure that it does not harm the colors of the carpet). Here, too, they try to concentrate only on the spot. Then let the essence work for a while so that the remedy can dissolve the rubber. Then take a dry, soft kitchen towel and rub the chewing gum. Then clean the area with a suitable cleaning agent to get rid of the smell of vinegar.
5. Emergency tip, if nothing helps: the scissors
No, you shouldn't cut off indiscriminately, because the height difference of the fibers will definitely notice in the end, believe us. Instead, they first try to remove as much as possible from chewing gum. With the scissors you only remove the remnants that you have failed. And here, too, they proceed as carefully as possible. With small nail scissors you can work more precisely, which is why it is preferable to others. Cut off every fiber close to the chewing gum - prefer to cut a little more than to remove too much with one time. Then look at your “work” from a distance: if a striking cow was created, you can also shorten the fibers around it to create more uniform transitions to the rest. Do not be too cocky and prefer to check the result from a distance too often than too rarely.
