Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Gum from Tile
Here's a detailed process you can follow:
-
Harden the Gum: Place an ice cube in a plastic bag. Hold the bag over the gum until the gum becomes hard or frozen (Reference 1). The cold temperature makes the gum brittle and easier to remove.
-
Remove the Hardened Gum: Once the gum is frozen, try to peel or scrape it off the tile surface carefully. A plastic scraper or a dull knife can be helpful.
-
Clean the Residue: Dip a clean cloth in warm, sudsy water, and wipe the tile surface until all traces of the gum have been removed (Reference 2). The warm water helps dissolve any remaining residue.
-
Dry the Area: After cleaning, dry the area with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
By following these steps, you should be able to effectively remove gum from your tile surface.
