A couple of months ago, I was waiting while my car was being serviced. Someone had mushed a huge wad of gum into one of the mats. One of the ladies there sprayed it with Brake pad cleaner. It wiped right up from the mat. She said she's used it on a stain on her skirt, with the same result! It comes in a spray can, so you just have to spray it on, and blot it up.

Also if you have gum stuck to your clothing, put your clothing in the freezer for a couple of hours and the gum should crumble off.

Once that didn't work for me, so I boiled some water and scrubbed it off with shampoo and the water XD

For wax on a carpet all you do is wait for it to harden, put a piece of paper bag or layers of newspaper on it then apply a warm iron.

This really works! It may take a few times to get all of the wax up, but it will work!
