Chewing Gum
Dear Aunt Daisy, Reading your page in The Listener I see someone wants to know how to get chewing gum off a frock. I had the misfortune to get some chewing gum on the ‘back of my wedding dress, when at a
dance, and at first could not think how to get it off. Anyhow, I was told to get some ice, and freeze the place where the gum was; then when it was hardened, to scrape it off. This was quite a success. I see you have already answered the question, but I thought you may like this idea as well, as I had such good results, and there is no sign of any stain or anything. Heat makes gum stick more than ever.-H.B. (Pukehou). Many thanks indeed for this new idea.
