Removing gum from an outdoor table can be frustrating, but with the right techniques, it’s simple. Here are some effective methods:

1. Freeze the Gum: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold it over the gum until it hardens. Once brittle, scrape it off gently with a dull knife or credit card.

2. Vinegar Solution: Soak a cloth in white vinegar and press it onto the gum for a few minutes. The acidity loosens the gum, making it easier to wipe away.

3. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, apply it to the gum, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Scrub with a soft brush, then rinse.

4. Peanut Butter: Spread a small amount of peanut butter over the gum. The oils break down the sticky residue, allowing you to wipe it clean with a cloth.

5. Commercial Adhesive Removers: For stubborn gum, use a store-bought adhesive remover. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging the table’s surface.

Always test any method on a small, hidden area first to ensure it won’t harm the table. With these tips, your outdoor table will be gum-free in no time!
