1. Put your swim trunks in a plastic bag
Put your swim trunks in a plastic bag. Make sure to fold them with the gum on the outside not to make things even worse. Seal the bag properly to avoid getting any bacteria on your food in the fridge.
2. Put the bag in your freezer
Place the bag in your freezer until the gum is frozen. This can take a few hours. Don’t be too quick, it’s better to leave it a little longer.
3. Remove the frozen gum with a dull knife
Once the gum is properly frozen, take the bag out of your freezer and start removing the gum with a dull knife. The knife will make it easier to remove while not damaging the fabric.
4. Wash your swim trunks
Once the gum is gone you can wash your swim trunks to make sure everything is gone. If there is a visible spot left on the trunks you can use a stain remover. Just make sure it’s a stain remover that goes well with your swim trunks. Not all stain removers can be used with swim trunks.
