One of the worse things to clean out of carpet and throw rugs is chewing gum! It can ruin the fibers, leave a stain on the fabrication and mold over time. It’s important to get the gum cleaned up as soon as possible to provent any damage. There’s 3 ways that you can successfully remove chewing gum from carpet and rugs.

1. Hair Dryer or Heat Gun – You want to use warm but not overly hot heat. Use the heat to soften up the gum and then scrape it off. Once off, use warm, soapy water to clean up any remaining residue. Blot dry with a cotton cleaning cloth.
2. Ice Pack – Fill a sandwich zipper close bag with several ice cubes. Place the homemade ice pack on top. Let it “harden up” the gum. Use a scraper to remove it from the fiber (gently). Then proceed to use warm, soapy water to get the remaining residue out. Blot dry with a cotton cloth.
3. Goo Gone Goo and Adhesive Remover – I’ve sucessfully used the Original Formula of Goo Gone Goo & Adhesive Remover to remove chewing gum from carpets. Place a little bit of Goo Gone onto a cotton cleaning pad or sponge. Gently wipe the cotton pad over the gum until it comes lose. If it’s stubbornly attached onto the carpet you may need to add a few drops of Goo Gone directly onto the chewing gum. Let sit for 5-10 minutes so that the formula breaks-down the gum. Use a scraper to clean it off of the fibers. Go back over the area with warm, soapy water to finish cleaning up the residue. Blot dry with a clean cotton towel.
Once the carpet or rug has fully dried (after the spot cleaning) go back over it with a vacuum to get any remaining residue cleaned up. If you have a carpet shampooer, you can use that too. It’s important to get all traces of the chewing gum, including residue cleaned up.
Over the years I’ve read cleaning tips and cleaning hacks that recommend using peanut butter. I’ve personally found that PB can leave an oily mark on my carpets. During the summertime I’ve experienced ants being attracted to that spot due to the leftover peanut butter residue. If you try the peanut butter trick…you do so at your own risk. However, I don’t personally recommend it.

Before I get started with this review I want to admit upfront that I’m a clean freak! That’s right, I’m cleaning something in my home on a daily basis. I like everything neat, clean and organized. Keeping your home clean helps to cut down on germs and it lets visitors know that you take great pride in keeping a nice home for your family. Let’s just say, I’m picky about the cleaning products that I use.
Persik sent me 2 of their products to try out for all of you. Here’s my thoughts on both.
Pure Sky by Persik Window and Glass Cloth is AMAZING!!! I’ve tried other microfiber cleaning cloths over the years and NONE of them worked as well as this one. It’s generously sized at 12.6″ x 14.2″. It can be used to clean windows, mirrors, electronic screens and more. With this cleaning cloth you only need to use water. That’s right, ONLY water!
I personally like to use a spray bottle to mist my windows and mirrors. Then use the Pure Sky by Persik cleaning cloth to clean them. It immediately removes all of that dust, dirt and grime. You don’t have to scrub and scrub. Quick and easy. Plus…no streaking! Hubby hates helping me clean but using this cleaning cloth he was more than happy to clean the glass window to our front door. Yay!!! We both loved the crystal-clear results!
Next were the 2 mirrors in our bathrooms and the large mirror in our dining room. Those can be real buggers to clean. Why? They seem to get splattered with water, toothpaste, hairspray, perfume and other things in the bathroom. Cleaning those mirrors weekly are a must in my household. I lightly misted them with water from my water bottle and then used the Pure Sky Window & Glass Cleaning Cloth. Again, AMAZING results! It took all of that stuff right off the mirror leaving a streak-free shine behind.
Here’s an extra tip for you. Keep one handy in your kitchen by the dishwasher. As you unload the dishwasher if you come across any glassware that has water spots…use the cloth to buff them clean before putting them away. Great at buffing away water spots on your silverware and utensils too!
The Pure Sky Eyeglass Cleaning Cloths are a must-have too! These little clealing cloths are great for cleaning your eyeglasses, sunglasses, cellphone screens, tablet screens, etc. They’re small enough for you to place in your handbag, briefcase, tote bag, travel bag, etc. They absorb dirt and fingerprints…leaving a smudge-free shine behind. We received a 2-pack so my husband is using one and I’m using one. They’re fabulous!!!
After you’re done cleaning you simply toss it into the washing machine. Don’t use any type of liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets. I then hang mine to air dry.
Where can you buy these fabulous cleaning products? Amazon of course! Head on over to Persik to shop for mop pads, cleaning cloths, car cleaners, eyeglass cleaning cloths, and more!!! Time to go GREEN and pick up some great cleaning tools that really work!!! Connect with the company on Facebook and Instagram.
