Who doesn’t like to treat themselves to chewing gum? Some people even chew several gums a day on a hot summer day! Gums can be a lifesaver when your breath isn’t at its best or they can just be a fruity touch to a great day!
However, just as we all know how great chewing gums are, most of us also know the hassle of getting them stuck to our clothes. This happens from time to time.
Maybe you sat down on a bench and didn’t notice the gum, or you simply got your own chewing gum on your clothes.
Getting chewing gum on your clothes is a mess. However, getting it on your swim trunks can be even worse!
But don’t worry! In this post, we’ll help you with how to get chewing gum out of swim trunks if the accident is a fact.
Put your swim trunks in a plastic bag. Make sure to fold them with the gum on the outside not to make things even worse. Seal the bag properly to avoid getting any bacteria on your food in the fridge.
2. Put the bag in your freezer
Place the bag in your freezer until the gum is frozen. This can take a few hours. Don’t be too quick, it’s better to leave it a little longer.
3. Remove the frozen gum with a dull knife
Once the gum is properly frozen, take the bag out of your freezer and start removing the gum with a dull knife. The knife will make it easier to remove while not damaging the fabric.
4. Wash your swim trunks
Once the gum is gone you can wash your swim trunks to make sure everything is gone. If there is a visible spot left on the trunks you can use a stain remover. Just make sure it’s a stain remover that goes well with your swim trunks. Not all stain removers can be used with swim trunks.
There you go! Now you know how to remove chewing gum from swim trunks without any trouble. Just follow these four steps and your swim trunks will look as good as new.
