How could I remove chewing gum from clothes?
I was wearing a new dress, and ended up with yellow chewing gum from underneath a table. I have tried ice cubes, freezing it and using a removal spray. Please help me remove gum from clothes.

Oh no! THat's so frustrating!!tryone of the solutions from here http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Gum-from-Clothes
Test a spot under hem first to be sure the fabric is color safe. I have used nail polish remover and a piece of cotton ball. (Got it out of fabric and also off of carpet.) But be sure it real cotton ball..not synsethic. Works better if its real cotton ball. Work from outside to center of gum and it should come off. Be sure you are not wearing nail polish when you do this or you will have a real mess.
Maybe try the reverse and use an iron and cloth since the ice cubes did not work.
Try putting peanutbutter on the gum.
I have been told that rubbing ice cubes on the gum hardens the gum and you can then peel it off.
I had that happen to me twice, I got so annoyed people just can't wrap it up and put it in the bin. I also tried the ice cubes, and some eucalyptus oil, or tea tree oil it should peel off
Goop Off or lighter fluid
Try using ice

Use full-strength Lestoil: First get as much gum off as you can with the ice cubes. Then, cover the gum with the Lestoil cleaner and let sit for a few minutes, then wash the dress as usual. If it doesn't come out the first time, repeat. Lestoil has taken grease, crayon, gum, etc. out of clothes for me.
This just happened to me last week :/ But I mistakenly put the skirt in the wash right away, which means that now it's even more difficult to get the remaining bits of gum out.. does anyone know what to do in this case?
Use WD 40
WD 40 or peanut butter.
Use a toothbrush to rub liquid laundry or dish soap directly into the gum. This should break up the gum's fibers and let you easily scrape off the wad. Wash the garment, applying stain remover if needed.
