Gum on you shoe sole?

Stepping on gum is one of those small daily misfortunes. It sticks stubbornly and seems impossible to remove. But there’s a simple and effective trick — cold is your best ally.

1. Place the shoe in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for a few hours.

As it freezes, the gum loses its elasticity and hardens, making it easier to remove.

2. Once frozen, carefully remove it using a rigid object, like a spatula.

No hassle, no damage to your shoe sole. Problem solved!
