Garment Alert: Avert a Sticky Situation

So sit back and relax, and imagine you’re out with friends to see a movie, and then after the long lines and waiting, you’re finally inside and about to sit down, its dark but you sit down anyway, onto something sticky, 'gum'!!! One of the the most embarrassing and upsetting feelings you could experience out in public? But, before you run home and cut out a big circle from your favorite attire, we've got some helpful and handy hints for you.

Before you do anything with a pair of scissors, or even think of a dry cleaner read your care label! Yes it is on the inside of the garment, and will essentially make you decide how to tackle the sticky situation!
Sorry but theres nothing we can do can help you save face, your still going to have to go home to change. Once you've removed the garment, having the culprit attached to it, then you can either hold an ice cube directly on the gum, or place the garment into a plastic bag and then into the freezer for a few hours. Once the gum has solidified then you can scrape it off with a flat blunt object like a butter knife. If it doesn't come off, re freeze your item of clothing.

When all of the gum has been removed you may use equal amounts of white distilled vinegar and dishwashing liquid, rub the mixture gently into the area in which the gum used to be, and wash. if the stain remains then repeat the steps again.

If the garment is Dry Clean only, remove gum and report the stain to your local dry cleaner, elaundry!!!!
