How to remove gum from clothes


I recently washed a batch of my sons laundry and without knowing washed the pack of gum he had in his pocket. It is stuck all over his clothes. Is there a way to get it off the clothes?

Mary,
I just looked on the internet for products to remove gum and found two that looked promising, Goo Gone and Gum Out. Maybe you'll have some luck with that. I was looking for a somewhat different solution. My son washed his own clothes and put them through the dryer. There is no gum on the clothing, but it is all over the inside of the dryer, and on pretty tight since it was heated. Did you have this as well?.
