My guys like Gum Break from Interlink best. Can be Cimex'd over too..

$20 bucks for a long lasting quart!

Whats your fave?

Geurkink's just takes it out effortlessly. Designed for low moisture it works great for both.

Gumolene. We heat it up, put a small amount on the spot and use the wood end of a tamping brush to work it out. This way, we can switch from brush to scrapper. I sharpen them up if they get dull.

 

[Cleanworks]

Volatile solvent in a trigger sprayer. I work over the gum first with a spiked wall paper roller to put some holes in it. Spray, let it sit and work in for a few seconds and pull it off with a scraper. I use the same product for gum, grease, wax, crayon or any other oil based stain.

Hel-Gel for the Cimex.

 

[BIG WOOD]

I've been using that clear gel solvent from Cleanmaster called OJ. I just shake it, squirt it out, scrub it, and suck it out, lol

Who cares? They all work.

Who cares? They all work.

I do!!
seems none work ike ya all say!! they do. at least for me.

got em all. every one mentioned. Utilize poking, scraping. time tons of time after poking, pricking scraping, dumping tons of above product. Treating long before.

Have gotten all the tools. I like the linoleum hook knive. Sharpy pointy side to poke holes in the wad. then the next half hour gingerly picking at it. Then turning it over using the back side to ever so gently scrape.
then finally just pulling it all out . tufts and all!!!!!!!

but, in the spirit of full divulgence, Guerkink's is the only one I have not YET tried.

But just like any good carpet cleaner , no chemcal will be left out!!!!!!lol

During HWE methods

We use the Harvard Dezolvall liquid

Only use about 4 to 5 ounces in a quart sprayer with water...

Goes a long way

WD40 in a duct taped over can, custom company black marker logo, and hold it at 45* and spray with red tube at base of gum and just watch it roll right off the carpet fibers

 

[Mikey P]

Guerkink does not make Hel Gel

Steve Smith does

Gum Up by Guerkink (Trinity Renewal) is the best gum remover I use. Vacaway doesn't have Gum Up. Not all of Guerkinks products come from Vacaway.
Gum Up is different than all other gum removers I've used. It's not a solvent and won't hurt the backing. The reason I think its better is you can just squirt it on the gum heavy when doing the walk thru then by the time you extract the gum is loosed so it comes up during the clean. Most of the time no hand scrubbing is required, just wand scrub it. It's weird because its not a solvent that dissolves the gum it just makes it not stick to the carpet fiber any longer. Truly a unique product. Doesn't resoil either like the citrus gel spotters do

 

[Lamesalegend]

I also like Hel Gel (Vacaway) for general spotting but not for gum

Oh...

Stringbean! My dad has mentioned that guy to me. That's the first time I've seen any of his videos.

Anyway, I use ProSolve or LiquaGel.
Pro's Choice Gumbe Gone is the best I've used.

Its very easy to use. Fast and effective. The best I've ever seen, its a time saver.

Where do you buy it?

 

[Desk Jockey]

[NobleCarpetCleaners]

for a minute I thought u was making fun of us 5 string pickers.....

Hell Jell is my go to from Vacaway

Mikey;

Have your guys try StainSolv on the gum (side by side).

It will work faster and doesn't resoil , due to more complete rinseability.

Lots of customers like it for adhesive tape residue (Shawn Bisaillon , etc.)

What else would you recommend?

 

[hogjowl]

Don't eat too many boiled egg sandwiches

 

[Josh]

Why?

 

[hogjowl]

Because you might end up reading DATs on MB while farting in your Den.

Like me.
