How do I get chewing gum off of a cotton bed sheet??

Use peanut butter, it dissolves the gum. Put a small amount of peanut butter on the gum, gently rub it in. It should start dissolving and balling up. Wipe it up with paper towels. Repeat as necessary. Use a laundry additive on the grease spot from the peanut butter. Wash the sheet and line dry it. Don't put the sheet in the dryer until you know the spot is gone.


Good luck!How do I get chewing gum off of a cotton bed sheet??
I would take the sheet and fold it up with the gum on the outside and stick it in the freezer and leave it there for a day, then try to scrape off the gum iwth your fingernail. It may not all come off and if the gum begins to soften stick it back in the freezer and repeat the process.





A lot of people say to use peanut butter, but I am afraid the oils from it will stain your sheets.How do I get chewing gum off of a cotton bed sheet??
Take the sheet off the bed first. Get some ice cubes and put them onto the gum. That will stiffen it. Then chip it off with your finger nail or a butter knife.





Keep applying ice and scraping till all traces are gone (can't feel any residue). Then wash any remainder off (such as food color from the gum) by putting it in a regular wash with detergent.
Ice cubes are best, newspaper or brown paper (and an iron) helps when getting wax off fabrics.





Ice cubes also help when trying to raise depressions in carpets left by heavy objects.
Place a newspaper over the gum and then iron with a hot iron sevearal times to melt off
Put some ice onto the chewing gum. Chewing gum will getting soft when cooled....
Try Tea Tree oil and the oil will wash out
