How To Get Gum Out Of Couch

Nobody likes finding gum stuck to their couch. But if it happens, don't panic! There are a few simple steps you can take to remove the gum without damaging the fabric.

First, try to remove as much of the gum as possible by hand. Be careful not to spread the gum around, or you'll make the problem worse.

Once you've removed as much of the gum as possible by hand, it's time to bring in the heavy artillery. There are a few different household items that can be used to remove gum from fabric, including:

Ice: Place an ice cube in a plastic bag and hold it against the gum for a few minutes. The cold will harden the gum, making it easier to remove.
Peanut butter: Apply a small amount of peanut butter to the gum and let it sit for a few minutes. The oil in the peanut butter will help to dissolve the gum.
Rubbing alcohol: Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball and dab it onto the gum. The alcohol will help to dissolve the gum and make it easier to remove.
WD-40: Apply a small amount of WD-40 to the gum and let it sit for a few minutes. The WD-40 will help to dissolve the gum and make it easier to remove.

Once you've applied one of the above treatments, use a clean cloth to blot the gum away. Be careful not to rub the gum, or you'll spread it around.

If the gum is still stuck, you may need to repeat the treatment. Be patient, and eventually, the gum will come off.

Once you've removed the gum, you may need to clean the area with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Allow the area to dry completely before sitting on it again.

If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn piece of gum, you may need to call in a professional cleaner. But with a little patience, you should be able to remove the gum from your couch yourself.
