Please can anyone tell me how to remove gum from clothes!? I put a load of clothes through the washer and dryer (mostly whites)  and my brother had left a piece of nicorette gum in his pocket. OMG, there's gum melted into most of the clothes.
I'm freaking - my favorite white capris were in there. 
HELP! A method, product anything? Thanks for any and all suggestions.  |

Put the garment in freezer..then just pick it off  Let it freeze...get real hard first.

| I agree. I saw it on TV and they removed gum from a the carpet by putting an ice pack on it. |

| Thanks ladies - this method works! The majority picked off the shirt and the residue that's in the fabric will I'm pretty sure come out with a couple of good washings. I have a lot of freezing and picking to do so... thanks again...this forum rocks! |

Sophia1015,
Hot water will soften the gum and encourage it to meld with the fibers. Heat, by way of hot water, dryer, etc, will set any stain making it impossible to remover.. |
