You'll need a dull knife, WD-40, a fingernail brush, an all purpose spray detergent like 409, white cloths and water.

Using the knife and the fingernail brush, scrape off as much of the gum as you can.

Spray the area with the WD-40 (don't worry this cleans off nicely). Continue scraping the gum off as the WD-40 breaks down the gum and loosens it from the fibers. Apply more WD-40 as needed.

Once all the gum is removed, blot the area with one of the clean white cloths absorbing as much of the excess WD-40 as you can.

Now spray the area with the all purpose spray detergent and blot the area with a new clean white cloth that has been dampened with water. You can use the fingernail brush here too, as you clean the area.

Now blot the area with just water to absorb the detergent. Good Luck with your carpet, this really works.
