Default gum in the carpet?

[SIZE=1]Help please!

Just today as I was going for a drive I noticed that on the passenger side I had a good amount of gum stuck in the carpet that I guess one of my passengers had on their shoe . I did a search but nothing of the matter came up. Just wondering for some tips. Thanks in advance!

first try ice cube...
if a small amount of gum one cube will do
for larger amount use a back of ice.
get the gum as cold as possible (like freezing). then it will crack off. (you might try a dull knife to remove it)
for the residue (if any) use a dry cleaning solvent.

Another easy way is to use one of those cans of air. Just aim the can upside down onto the gum and spray slowly. This will spray liquid co2 onto the gum which should freeze it up nicely. This works best for small pieces of gum, not large pieces.
