Chewing Gum

The challenge of removing chewing gum from clothes, carpets, furniture, sidewalks, laundry, the car, books, papers, you name it . . . has been a problem probably since the sticky substance was first invented.

How about the mess gum makes if you accidentally wash and dry a garment that had chewing gum in the pocket? Sometimes the entire load of laundry emerges covered in spots and sticky bits – not to mention the inside of the dryer! Ever accidentally walked on gum on a warm day and had it stick in a stringy mess to the bottom of your shoe? Relaxed on an outdoor bench only to discover you sat on a big, sticky, icky wad of gum? How about one of the kids getting gum on a rug or carpet -- and having it tracked through the house?

Gum Removal Theories

Some say freeze it, others say melt it. Some say scrape it, others say snip it. Some people say if you get gum really stuck on something, it’s ruined; just give up and throw it away . . . but DON’T! No matter how tough your gum problem, Goof Off^® Heavy Duty Spot Remover and Degreaser will remove it, with one application, in one step, without harming the underlying material or surface.

Other methods often require multiple steps, first freeze, then scrape, then use one product to remove remaining residue, another to remove the stain that remains, etc., but Goof Off^® removes both the gum and the stain at the same time.

How Does It Work?

Goof Off^®'s powerful micro-emulsion formula penetrates and dissolves gum, leaving nothing sticky behind; and no oily residue for you to clean up. It eliminates the need for aggressive scrubbing, which can damage delicate fabrics and wear down your carpet or upholstery or create a rip or tear.

Goof Off^® is safe for removing gum and other household spots, stains and soils because it has no harsh fumes and is biodegradable. It is also economical because it works in a single application and works on dozens of household stains and kid stains like crayon, grass stains, marker, pen, paint, scuff marks, glue, and much more.

Keep a container of Goof Off^® Heavy Duty Spot Remover and Degreaser under your sink or in your cupboard, and never wonder what to do about gum disasters again.
