Freeze the pants in a plastic bag for 1 to 2 hours
Scrape off the hardened gum with a dull knife or credit card
Apply ice cubes directly to the gum if freezing the whole garment is not possible
Rub the gum with peanut butter or vegetable oil to loosen it
Use rubbing alcohol or white vinegar on the gum
Wash the pants according to the care label after removing the gum
Check that the gum is fully gone before drying
Repeat the treatment if any residue remains
