Out of all the food stains that can happen to a rug, gum is one of the trickier ones to remove. Even if you don't chew gum there is a chance you can accidentally bring gum to the rug from the bottom of your shoes. If you aren't careful you could end up damaging your rug and the rug pile with poor removal methods. There are different methods for effectively removing gum from a rug.
The best way to remove gum is to freeze it. This means getting a can of compressed carbon dioxide and spraying the section with gum on it. The gum will loosen and crumble to dust. All you have to do is remove it with a vacuum.
Steam cleaning removal involves professional rug cleaning equipment. This method uses pressurized hot water. The water is sprayed onto the gum stain at an angle and loosens the gum. This procedure has to be done carefully in order to prevent spreading the gum to other sections of the rug.
Professional rug cleaners can remove gum stains during their regular rug washing process. With any gum removal, it's recommended that you professionally clean your rug. Gum removal often shows dirt discoloration that looks unsightly.
