How to remove gum without ice


how can I remove gum from upholstery that has a bit of a "corduroy" texture? I tried the ice and it removed the surface gum but I still need to get the gum out of the creases.

Stretch the fabric to expose the contents of the creases outwards.

Then reapply the ice. This time it will also freeze those sections of gum in the folds.

Use a pair of tweezers to reach in and tug at the hard to reach gum to get it out - which with patience will happen!
