I've always applied an ice cube on the gum for a minute or so and than use the back side of a butter knife(the blunt edge) to scrape it off. If it's really ground in it may take a couple of trys. The ice hardens it so it will come off.

Thank you I will try that. Any more helpful hints that I can try?

Gum blows. :lol:

 

 

I have no clue how to get gum out.

 

I remember as a child going to bed with gum in my mouth only to wake up with it stuck in my hair. Mom got the scissors out.

Put the mat in your freezer overnight. In the morning the gum will be frozen and you can just scrape it off.

Wow, great idea Rich!! I'd use a razor blade to cut it out or scrape it off from there.
