Gum on Vehicle Seat
Asked by L.S. from Salinas
on September 21, 2008
-
How do you get gum out of a vehicle seat? We went to the movie theatre and sat on some gum. We didn't know we had gum on our pants until we got home and saw the seat.
Answers
- Try canned air (like they sell to dust computer keyboards) and spray very close to the gum. I've heard the propellant will freeze the gum and you can chip it off.
- Try using ice (in a plastic bag to keep the gum/seat dry) to freeze the gum. Once frozen, gum is usually much easier to remove from just about anything.
- Ice should do the trick. Just put ice on the area and get the gum frozen and it should break off.
