The easiest and most common way to remove gum from a plastic surface is by freezing it. Here's a breakdown of methods you can use:
Freezing the Gum Off
According to available information, freezing the gum makes it brittle and easier to remove. Here are a couple of ways to do it:
-
Ice Blocks:
- Apply an ice pack or ice cubes (in a bag) directly onto the gum.
- Hold it there for several minutes until the gum hardens completely.
- Carefully peel or scrape the frozen gum away from the plastic surface. A plastic scraper or a dull knife may be helpful.
-
Freezer Spray:
- Consider using a dedicated freezer spray, such as Diversey Taski Tapi Freeze Spray, designed for gum removal.
- Apply the spray according to the product instructions. These sprays rapidly freeze the gum.
- Once frozen, scrape the gum away.
