how do i get chewing gum off my carpet ?



Answers:
I'd try rubbing in some peanut butter first. If that doesn't work, contact a carpet store and ask if they can sell you a can of carbo-chlor (cleaning solvent & spot remover). It's real toxic stuff (avoid contact with skin), but it works well on a lot of stuff.

Ice put ice on it and get it really really hard and pull it off or scrape it off.
freeze it with ice cubes. once it is hard it will come off.

There is a spray product called "Lift-Off" you spray it on the gum and it hardens it in 5 minutes, then it is much easier to pull off with a small scraper. Schools use it all the time for gum under desks, lockers etc.
There is a hand-cleaning product called GOOP. It comes in a can and mechanics use it to clean the grease off their hands. It works great to take gum out of carpet and hair, too. I know about the hair thing from experience.
