Chewing Gum on a car seat

[Ben]

I'm most unhappy - found a chunk and string of chewing gum pushed in one of my car seats today 

It was a friend of a friend's "little princess" who was decided it would be funny to mash chewing gum into chairs - and she's opened our car, climbed in and mashed it in 

I don't know what I'm more annoyed about - the gum or the fact the parents don't seem to be able to control the little poo. She was given a telling off by her mum, and responded with "you can't do anything to me." Sadly she seem to be right, she gets away with anything since she the "little princess". 

Looking for suggestions on how to remove said chewing gum from the car seat.

On clothes you usually put the item in the freezer then you should be able to get it off when it's frozen, so maybe a large icepack on it for half an hour might do the same if you can get it over the offending gum?

Otherwise find out how much it'll cost to get things replaced and tell your friend to foot the bill.

Cheers Think we might try the vinegar and toothbrush. Might use it on the car as well

Put it in the freezer </helpful-unhelpful>

Always used icepacks/freezer jobby and it's worked nicely

Out of interest, did anything work in the end?

Good question - need to ask the other half what was used in the end!

how about removing gum from the inside of a door handle? some scrote stuck it to the backside of my door handle a few weeks ago, pulled most of it off but there is some still there.

Someone managed to get gum in my hair at a recent gig. I had to cut it out.
