To get dried-up gum out of your clothing, you must first try to pull it bit by bit off the clothing. It is advisable to try and pull off the gum in one piece. Then you should wash it in water and soap. There is another method which is commonly used to get dried-up gum out of your clothing. According to this method, the dry clothing is sealed in a plastic bag and kept in the freezer.
When the garment is frozen, it must be taken out of the freezer and the gum must be scraped off gently with the help of a dull knife.
