Been getting some nice commercials lately, just wondered what you find the best way to remove gum & blu tac??

[tim handley]

get you to do it..................

[tim handley]

seriously, ive tried all the sprays and gels, tried freezing it, used special gum piercers, no  real success with any of them mate...
steamers?    not tried, ive seen a machine for sale on here i thin k for about £600  which removes gum, if i thought i could get such a machine and it would do the job i would get one and charge a pro rata price on top of cleaning the carpet, is there such thing?

[tim handley]

blu tac is worse than gum, terrible in schools............

[Kieran Casey]

Oh I so agree on blu-tack! Bloody impossible on any carpet (more so on the type used in schools around here!)

Has anyone tried the "bazooka"

Is it any good for gum
Is it any good for blu-tack

get a cheap steamer citrus gel  no problem

[John Kelly]

I'd agree, Citrus Gels are probably the simplest method, dab on work in asnd leave. Steamer will speed it up. Its basically Latex Rubber.

[mr muzzy]

steamer speeds it up john comes out in no time

[MarkSutcliffe]

perforator and citrus gel

or orange gel by craftex..

[cleanability]

High temp with upholstery tool either softens it up or removes some, then finish off with Detak chewing gum remover which at about £13/5litres is tremendous value.

i tell the client that i can clean the carpets but if they want the gum/blue tac completely  removed then it will be £1 per piece, most say just clean over them

[Harry Roberts]

Rida gum or citrus gel.

Gel and a truck mount I just steam and blast the heat and pressure removes most first time.
