Discarded gum seems to get stuck everywhere, the seats of buses and trains, playgrounds, car parks and on every street. And then it sticks to you! So what are the best methods of removing chewing gum?

There are many commercial cleaning products on the market, but with chewing gum litter being such a big problem, there are also many home-spun methods which have the advantage of being cheaper, simpler, tried and tested. It can also be difficult to know what the chemical ingredients in commercial chewing gum removal products will do to your clothes.

Freezing is a great method for removing small spots of chewing gum from shoes, clothes, carpets, mats and even hair. If the item will fit, put it in the fridge or freezer for several hours, or even leave it overnight. Once frozen, the gum should become brittle and be easy to scrap and chip off.

Chewing gum on larger items of clothing, carpets and people can be frozen with ice cubes in a plastic bag.

Solvents such as white spirit and lighter fluid can be used to remove any remnants of gum that are left. Be sure to check that the solvent doesn’t harm the material by applying a small amount to a hidden area, such as a hem or an old piece of carpet.

A normal machine wash or dry-clean should finish the job for clothes and carpets can be shampooed.

Chewing gum litter is a massive problem across the UK, despite the wrapper which can be used to dispose of it without any mess and the litter bins which are on every street corner. Blobs of chewing gum can be found on pavements, streets and pedestrian areas in almost every town and city.

Discarded chewing gum in the UK has been classified as litter by legislation which came into effect in 2005. This means that people can be fined if they are caught throwing gum away carelessly and that Local Authorities have a duty to clear it up.

Another problem with power washing is that the gum can sometime just be moved and then stick somewhere else.

Custom made gum removal machines use a combination of steam (sometimes under pressure) and chemical detergents to break up and unstick the gum. This type of process often destroys the gum completely and the machines often include brushes and/or a vacuum to clear up the residue.

With the intense competition in the labor market, you have to have a great resume when searching for new employment. The problem is, unless you are one of those people who change jobs every couple of years, it is difficult to keep the knack of writing a good one.

US Resume Writers are professional writers skilled at highlighting the features and skills that employers are looking for. You need a resume that makes you stand out in the pile of applications on the hiring managers desk and that is what they aim to do.

They offer a number of packages costing from around $150 dollars to over $1000, with the more expensive packages including features such as an interview with a professional headhunter and a personal website.

It may seem a lot of money, but it is really a great investment that could lead on to the next stage in your career and a much higher salary.

In the US, a wide variety of grants are available for businesses, individuals, Government agencies and not for profit organisations which can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Unlike some professional writing services, none of their work is out sourced, it is all completed by qualified writers based in America. Not only that, but they charge a flat up front fee rather than a percentage, and assign a team of writers to your project rather than a single unsupported writer.

Life Settlement Analyst is a comprehensive site full of information about life settlement – the process of selling an unneeded life insurance policy to a third party for a lump sum.

This was not something I’d ever heard about and I have to say that at first it sounds a little strange, but it makes sense for people over sixty five who own a good policy. Through life insurance settlement, they can sell their policy for a much greater value than would be offered by the company that they hold the life insurance policy with. Whoever they sell it to becomes the new beneficiary of the policy and is responsible for premium payments.

This is a relatively new market in the insurance industry and many people will not be familiar with this way of gaining a lump sum from an insurance policy, unless their financial adviser mentions it. This site is a great place to start with a number of life settlement information articles.
