Christopher Myers is the founder and Chairman of the textile care company Christopher’s, Inc. Christopher’s specialty is in the care of maintenance of high-end textiles. Christopher has studied the science and art behind fabric protection and effective cleaning and spot removal since 1992 when he conceived of the idea of a company that could offer true comprehensive long term care of carpets, upholstery and rugs used in or outside of the home. Begin by using a large spoon to try and get up as much of the gum as possible without pulling out the carpet fibers.  Next use a small screwdriver and ice cube to pick the gum out.  The next step is to use scissors to cut out any remaining tiny pieces of gum. The last step is to use the detergent and blot up.
