Use dry cleaning solvent on any that remains after above, or dissolve the residue with some oil, then wash in hot water and detergent to remove the oil.

buy goo-gone. I never tried it on clothing, but it says on the label that it works. I know it works for other stuff.

Rub an ice cube on it until it comes off.

And how am I supposed to get the greasy, oily peanut butter off after smearing it all over the gum?
