gum on car seat strap

jenfrogmom · Aug 7, 2012

Myles must have taken his gun out of his mouth and put a wad on his strap. How three heck can I get that out without ruining my straps? Argh!

I got the wad off, here is a Pic of what is left.

Apply an ice pack to the gum. Frozen gum peels off more easily.

If ice doesn't work heat up a cup of white vinegar place a tooth brush in it and gently scrub the gum off should come right off and should barely get the straps wet. i had to figure out how to get gum out of my daughters school uniform that worked like a charm

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with even a small amount of intentionally applied vinegar on the strap.

Then maybe just water with a tooth brush i have never had this issue with straps my kids are not allowed to chew gum in the car

Ds got gum on his strap once, I mostly kept rubbing it with a washcloth and the bits "rolled" off. Got the majority off, but took a while. I didn't put anything on it at all, I think the washcloth was just dry too.

Ice is awesome for removing gum on most things.

Put it in the freezer for a bit, the whole thing should come right off.

Thanks everyone. I will ice / freeze it and see what happens.
