When was the last time you heard. "Mom, I got gum in my hair, or when was the last time you found gum on your carper or furniture? I worked as an art and science kindergarden teacher when I was young. We were always getting gum off something.
Here is the best way to get gum out. Take a spoonful of peanut butter and slowly work the peanut butter into the gum. Smooth works best. Just keep working it into the gum. It will soon desolve the gum!!! If it is in hair, take a comb and comb the peanut butter out then shampoo as usual. Presto NO MORE GUM. If it is on carpet just work the peanut butter into the gum until the gum disolves. Take a paper towel or cleaning cloth and remove the peanut butter. Use mild soap or carpet cleaner to remove the oily peanut butter. This trick works on almost anything you want to remove gum from.

Well my son use to love to play with silly putty. One night he come into my bedroom and woke me up to tell me that he had fell asleep with it in his hand and woke up with it in his hair. I mean it was matted bad. Well I am not one that gets woke up a happy camper at 3 in the morning trying to figure out how to get silly putty out of my sons hair. I told him that I was just going to cut it out and we would take him to the barber the next day to shape up the mess that the silly putty and the 3:00 am hair cut made. My husband told me not to cut his hair and he got some alchol and poured it in a wash cloth and started wetting my sons hair with the wash cloth. Wow! the silly putty disapeared. That was the last time my son went to bed with the silly putty. He would just forget about it and leave in on his floor and if the heat was on, the silly putty would melt in the carpet. Well I would just get some alchol and pour it onto the carpet and presto! The silly putty was gone. My son is 14 now and I wish he still liked to play with silly putty. Now he is into girls. LOL

yea my babies are now 14 and 20. They both still live with me but my 20 year old goes to college full time and works full time. When he is not in college or work he is with his friends or girlfriend. He just comes in and goes to sleep. I went through the empty nest syndrom with him for a while. I want him to spread his wings and fly. I just miss him being little.

I know that this sounds really crazy, but it rreally, really works I did not beleave it myself until I tried it for my self. If you have a really big blob of gum you may have to add more peanut butter but it really works.

Thanks so much for the tip! I haven't allowed my son to have gum yet since he wouldn't know not to swallow it, but I will definitely keep this tip in mind for when he eventually discovers it.

I hope this tip is as useful to you as it was for me. I have 2 grandchilders that live with me and I have used this tip over and over.
