Default How Do I Remove This?!?

The wife picked up a piece of bubble gum on her shoes in a parking lot and now my Husky floor liner is covered in sticky gum residue.

How do I remove this crap without damaging the liner?

Try peanut butter. That's what my mom used on me when I got gum in my hair as a kid. The oils in the peanut butter release the gum. Use an ols toothbrush and a glob of peanut butter and work the area. Clean with warm soapy water to remove the peanut butter.

I think your Husky will object to that last sentence.

Keyboard cleaner air (turn upside down freeze it), then just scrape it off

Yes peanut butter does work. Did this method twice. Rub in the peanut butter and let it sit at least an hour before wiping off.

I never really used GooGone but if you don't have any I'm sure WD40/liquid wrench would be effective.
