Chewing gum or stubborn stains on your floor, sofa, or carpet? You’re not alone. With the right approach and the quality products from James, even the toughest stains can be removed easily and safely. In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how to tackle stains like chewing gum professionally, get practical cleaning tips, and discover the best products for maintaining your interior.
The challenge of chewing gum and other stains
Chewing gum is tough and quickly sticks to fibers and materials—whether it’s carpet, upholstery, or a hard floor. Many people are unsure about the best approach: should you scrape, scrub, or use a strong household remedy? Unfortunately, that often leads to permanent damage. Fortunately, there are methods that solve the problem while protecting the surface.
Why choose James cleaning products?
- Safe for material and color: James is developed for specific surfaces like carpet, rugs, PVC, linoleum, and furniture.
- Easy to use: With clear instructions and reliable results.
- Professional results: Even stubborn stains, including chewing gum, can be safely removed.
- Suitable for daily use: No harsh chemicals, just a fresh, well-cared-for look.
Step-by-step: Removing chewing gum from floors or furniture
- Cool the gum: Place a plastic bag with ice cubes on the gum. This will harden it and make it easier to break off.
- Carefully remove the gum: Use a blunt knife or spoon to gently loosen the gum. Never pull or scrub!
- Clean the spot with James: Treat the remaining stain with a powerful, safe stain remover, such as James Vlekkenspray. Let the product sit for a moment and gently dab clean with a clean cloth.
- Repeat if necessary: Still see traces? Repeat step 3 or use a specialized product like the TMC 520 stain remover.
