Chewing Gum- Stain Removal on Carpet and Upholstery
1. Sponge with a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent.
Blot. (Use small amounts to prevent any possible damage
to sizings, backings, or stuffing materials. Do not use
gasoline, lighter fluid or carbon tetrachloride).

2. Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent (a mild
detergent containing no alkalies or bleaches) with a cup
of luke-warm water. Blot.
