Freeze It Off. One simple method of removal is to rub the gum with ice first until it has completely hardened. Then use a spoon, blunt knife or paint scraper to lever it off immediately before it's had time to warm-up and go soft again.

Why not your local cleaners?

Why pay money if you can do it for free?

True. However, sometimes it's just not worth trying on your own. I tried getting gum off my pants once, and was left with a grease stain that wouldn't come out. And yes, I carefully followed the instructions from one of those "how to" sites. Moral of the story? Pay three bucks and have it done professionally.
