How to Remove Gum on the Car Carpet
One of the most disastrous pollutions is probably the chewing gum on your car carpet. It is sticky
and very hard to remove. It leaves nasty marks and stains that are near impossible to clean with
simple methods. However, if you are thinking that you don't chew gums and you are safe, think
again. Sometimes your noisy girlfriend can accidentally drop its gum right on your precious car
carpet. In such cases, you have to know the right way to deal with this type of pollution, as well as
the right products. Here, in this article, I can't help you deal with your girlfriend, but how to remove
gum on the car carpet successfully, without any sophisticated methods like the carpet steam
cleaning.
First of all, you have to do a pretreatment on the stain. For the job, you will need 2 or 3 ice cubes
placed in a plastic bag. You have to seal it tight and you can get a vacuum effect. Put the ice bag on
the chewing gum and make sure that you have covered it all. You should let it sit for 10 minutes, so
the gum can become hard. It will be a lot easier to remove it in this particular state.
Now, when you treated effectively the gum, you should scrape off with a spoon or spatula the gum
from the car carpet. You'd better break the gum into little pieces and the vacuum them. This way
you can avoid any sticky leftovers on your carpet. Continue to chip away at the gum and vacuum,
also use the ice bag again if needed. However, your job is not finished with just removing the gum.
You have to deal with the stain and any other traces of the chewing gum. For this purpose, get a dry
cleaning detergent and moisten a rag with it. Make sure to clean completely, but don't scrub too
hard or you may damage the fibers of the carpet.
Many carpet steam cleaning professionals advise us to execute another treatment for additional
cleaning results. It is optional, however, but very effective. For the job, you have to mix 1 cup of
warm water and ¼ tsp. of mild dish soap in a bowl. Apply this cleaning solution on a rag and then
scrub again the area. It is good to blot with a dry cloth and not let the spot dry on its own.
If this whole procedure seems too much for you, then the experts of carpet steam cleaning in London
recommend the usage of cleaning service. As well as the good and professional treatment of your car
carpet, you can also let them clean the rest of your car for almost free. At a reasonable price, you
can hit two birds with one stone.
