This morning I was greeted by “Mom, I don’t know where it came from, but there’s gum on my apron!”
So, I used this opportunity to teach her how to remove gum from clothing. This is the easiest way that I know. Freeze it off. You can take the clothing item, and put it directly in the freezer. Or you can do what I did, I choose to show her how to do it with ice packs.
See the dreaded gum?!
We put one ice pack under the apron.
We then put another ice pack on top of the gum. This happens to be my homemade ice pack.
I let it sit for about 10 minutes, then the gum popped right off. If there is a stubborn spot that doesn’t want to come off, put the ice back on and try again in a few minutes.
My daughter then washed the apron, and all traces are gone.
So if your kids end up with gum on their clothes, the freezing method is the easiest way to remove it. It’s so easy, the kids can do it themselves.
Hey, if they can get gum on their clothes, they certainly can learn to get it off!
That's a great trick! Glad I stopped by 🙂 And thanks for linking up with Follow Along Fridays.
And if you get gum in your hair, you can just stick your head in the freezer…
oh, wait…
😉 Thanks for sharing your good method!
That's a Great tip! Thanks for participating in this week's Tuesday Tip Jar over on Blog Mommas.
I love it when my kids say… I don't know how it happened, or I don't know how it got there…
You always know it is gonna be good when you hear those words!
Great tips!
That really is a great tip. Thank you!
Blessings!
