Holy Cow! My Hubby and I were getting ready to go out and he had gum on one of his favorite shirts and we tried the warm vinegar and a toothbrush method and it work perfect!

1. Sponge with a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent. Blot. (Use small amounts to prevent any possible damage to sizings, backings, or stuffing materials. Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid or carbon tetrachloride).

2. Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent (a mild detergent containing no alkalies or bleaches) with a cup of luke-warm water. Blot.

Plax mouth rinse is great for taking any gum out whether it is fresh or it has been there for a while. It sure beats the heck out of putting something in the freezer or putting peanut butter on it.
