How To Remove Gum From Fabric Couch? Follow The Simple Steps To Do So!
♦ Preparation
Before you begin the gum removal process, understand what type of upholstery fabric it is. Plus, read through the couch’s manufacturer’s instruction manual to know what type of cleaning solution works best. Test out the cleaner on a small segment of the couch to see if it causes colorfastness.
♦ Place An Ice Pack On The Upholstery
Put some ice cubes in a plastic bag and seal it off completely. Now, place this cold plastic bag on the gum to harden it up. Do this for a few minutes till the gum is completely hard.
♦ Carefully Scrape The Gum
Now, it’s time to scrape off the gum from your couch. Use a dull knife or a spoon to carefully scrape off the gum from the couch’s fabric. Don’t put a lot of force while removing the gum or you will tear off the couch’s fabric.
♦ Apply Upholstery Cleaner
Next, apply a spot cleaning cleaner on the affected area. You can also make a spot cleaner yourself by mixing 1 teaspoon of baking soda and with a small amount of water. Apply the paste and let it sit for some time.
♦ Dry & Fluff The Upholstery
Use a clean microfiber cloth to clean off the stain. Now, let the upholstery dry. Once it is fully dry, you can vacuum the upholstery to remove any remaining bits of cleaning solution and fluff the fibers of the upholstery.
