Vinegar soak and scrub.

White vinegar, when heated, becomes a mild solvent capable of softening many sticky substances, including chewing gum. The warmth enhances its dissolving action, allowing it to penetrate the gum and weaken its grip on carpet fibers. Soaking the gum in warm vinegar and then scrubbing helps to gradually lift the gum. This method is favored for its use of natural ingredients and is often suggested as a carpet-safe cleaning solution.
