Chewing gum stains can be very tough stains to take out from clothes. So to remove them effectively, they need pre-treatment with Ariel washing liquid. As it’s not always clear how to remove chewing gum stains, using Ariel liquid is the most effective solution. So follow the instructions below and get rid of those pesky chewing gum stains in the 1st go.

Steps showing how to remove chewing gum stains

Somehow, chewing gum always seems to end up somewhere it’s not meant to be. And while chewing that gum keeps it nice and chewy, afterwards it gets sticky and hard.

It used to be said that chewing gum stains could ruin your clothes forever. Luckily, Ariel knows that’s just not the case. Watch our step by step guide on how to get rid of chewing gum stains from clothing, or read the instructions below.

Removing chewing gum stains

Step 1

Freeze the gum

The first thing to do is apply cold. When frozen, you can remove chewing gum easily, so stick your garment in the freezer or hold an ice cube onto it for 30 seconds or more.

Step 2

Remove gum

Once the gum is hard, just peel it off by hand

Step 3

Load

Place the garment into the washing machine with other items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will boost your wash performance.

Step 4

Dose

The cap is also a dosing device. Just fill it with the correct detergent dosage of detergent and place it directly into your washing machine drum, on top of the clothes.

Step 5

Wash

Wash as usual with Ariel, making sure to dose correctly. Always make sure to follow the instructions on your garment’s care label.

Step 6

Unload

Then, when the wash cycle is over, simply remove the items and you’re ready to go.

Effective stain removal on many stains

While you’re out and about there are a lot of stains you can encounter. A speck of rust on a bench may rub off on your new skirt, while mud and grass are always around to stain your favourites. You have nothing to fear from those stains, either, though. Ariel is there to remove many tough stains from your favourites right away.

Choose Ariel Original Washing Liquid for great stain removal in one easy step. Along with its pre-treat cap, Ariel offers tough stain removal and a fresh scent while still being gentle on your favourites.
