hi guys/gals
this is a first for me ive not had the pleasure of encountering trodden in chewing gum ive been asked to price cleaning a carpet in a gift shop 50ft by 20ft few stains but a fair bit of chewing gum trodden in is there stuff out there that removes this i do have some prochem citrus gel but like i say never encountered gum before  thanks in advance

Prochem citrus gel should deal with it, Alltec do a dedicated chewing gum remover as do Restoremate. I think Restoremate do a freezing product that I would like to try.

I have a product called Gum it off, which works a treat.   You want to be charging at least £1 per gum removed. That's what we charge.

Gum it off is  good, it's the only product i like from them.

Citrus gel is better in my opinion as thicker

[pro-fresh]

I have tried all the above and none of them are as good as Resolvit Gel from World of Clean.

Make sure it's not bitumen backed, and gum not in contact with the backing
as most products will remove the gum, start to breakdown the bitumen and
then you have  liquorice like stains that will not go. because the stuff to move
them causes more wicking.

I use Gum-Solv  which you agitate in gently and leave then damp wipe it off. On nylon carpet you can toothbrush it in and it comes off straight away. Tried citrus gel but found it not as effective. Still each to their own.
