Dear Listers, Does any of you have experience of removing chewing gum from an antique rug? This is a growing problem in our museum, where the original rugs have to be kept on display - regardless of their conditions. I was wondering whether anyone can suggest a simple way of getting rid of the unpleasent stuff. I know that freezing it may be an option, but I am hoping there might be an easier option. Thanks for the help.
