How do I remove a gum stain from my car seat?
What's the best way to remove a gum stain from my cloth car seats? One of my kids stuck their gum on my car seat. I got the actual gum off, but it's left a stain.

Removing the gum can be a sticky and frustrating ordeal—so great job getting it off the seat!
To get rid of the stain, you should use a combination of white distilled vinegar and a dry cleaning solution. Follow these steps to work the gum stain out of your seats:
- Dab the stain with white distilled vinegar.
- Let it sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse the area by dabbing the same spot with a bit of water.
- Use a clean cloth to dry the stained area—dab, don’t wipe!
- If the stain remains, try going back over it with a dry cleaning solution.
Read the dry cleaning solution instructions before using it. Some solutions could damage your seats or harm your hands. Remember to test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous location before using it to remove the stain. If it discolors your test area, you’ll be glad it’s in a less obvious spot.
