Why are chewing gum and stubborn stains so tricky?

Clumsy removal methods like scraping or using harsh chemicals often make things worse, sometimes causing permanent damage. That’s why you should always choose products and methods that are suitable for your material.

Step-by-step: safely removing chewing gum

- Clean the spot: Use the James Stain Spray to remove any residue or stains. Let it sit for a moment, then dab with a clean cloth.
