When I was a kid I accidentally got chewing gum in my hair while taking a bath. The gum got really sticky since it was wet. I was scared to let anyone know and tried removing it myself. This just complicated things. Gum was everywhere (wall, my skin, hair).
My mom had a crazy idea and put peanut butter in my hair and it dissolved the gum in seconds and washed right out.
I'm not saying you should put peanut butter on a carpet, but it was just a thought. If the gum was removed from my hair that easy, I can only imagine how easy it would be to remove it from carpet after applying a small amount of pb and working it in.
I know you will say to use a citrus spotter, but I am going to try it out on a scrap piece of carpet. I think it is going to work better than the citrus gel.
