This just might be the most important information you read ALL day! You might not need this help right now, but there will come a day when you will rely upon this crucial how-to tip.
So last week, me and 3 hot chicas grabbed a bite to eat at the Cheesecake Factory and then we went to the movie. As we got up to leave after the movie, I noticed I had sat in some GUM!!!! UGHH! I screamed in horror while cursing the stupid idiot that left their gum in the movie seat. And then I realized it was MY gum that I placed in a piece of napkin right next to me on the seat at the restaurant. I didn't put the gum on the table, because I thought that would gross out my girlie friends. Crap! Wrigley's EXTRA Winterfresh was on my left cheek of my WHITE capris.
I was a bit embarrassed, but more irritated with myself. When I got home, I tried to ice it, but it didn't really work. So I wadded them up and shoved it in my dirty clothes basket and tried to forget about it. I was afraid my white pants would be ruined. A few days later, I did some research and this is what I found!
Here is the tip of the day for removing gum from clothing:
- Hot vinegar and a toothbrush
Yep, that's it. Just heat up the vinegar in the microwave and use an old toothbrush and scrub the gum off. I was a bit skeptic, but it took me literally 30 seconds to remove the blue gum from my white capris.
Don't worry; you'll thank me the next time you sit in your own gum!

I'm so glad your capris survived. Your scream in the theater when you noticed the gum still ranks on my top 10 favorite San Jose moments.
I'm right there with Tish...way funny! I will definitely utilize the gum tip if I ever decide to randomly sit on my own gum :)
Excellent advice! Sorry that had to happen to you. That is totally something I would do. When in doubt of getting out a stain google :)
That is great information! Brooklynn just started asking for gum, so now we will probably be getting gum out of her clothes if we decided to cave in and give her a piece. Thanks for sharing!!
