Enough to coat the top part of the gum wad. Usually two to three drops.

Will it damage the backing of carpet?

No. Numerous test have been conducted without any damage to carpet backing.

Will it remove gum from tile?

Yes but use sparingly as to not damage the glue on the underside of the tile. Also, do not use the hand agitation brush as it may damage the tile surface. Instead, use a cloth or green scrub pad with light pressure.

What other type of stains will it work on?

It works on a wide variety of stains like grease, lip stick, candle wax, oil and food stains.The best thing to do is simply try it. Depending on the surface containing the stain, use good judgment as to whether to use the brush, a soft cloth or a green scrub pad so as to not damage the surface. If Rid-A-Gum does not remove the stain, try CGR 1000 (CGR1000 Reviews).

Will it remove gum from hard surfaces?

Yes, in some cases. The product is designed to work best on soft surfaces, like carpet and fabric

Will a dark spot remain on the carpet after the gum is removed?

The reason a gum wad is usually dark in color is due to dirt on top of the gum. If you attempt to remove the gum wad, the dirt will spread creating a dark spot. Avoid creating this "dark spot" by removing the dirt prior to removing the gum by blotting with a rag dampened with Rid-A-Gum solution.

How long will a gallon last?

When used with the Gum Wizard machine, approximately 2 hours of continuous use. However, removing chewing gum is performed by going spot-to-spot so the actual time will be much longer. When used as an all purpose cleaner in a spray bottle, obviously it depends on how much CGR 1000 is applied to the stain and how often it is used.

Yes, in fact, it is one of the best all purpose cleaners on the market. Used full-strength or diluted with water, it will remove almost any stain you come up against.

What type of stains will CGR 1000 remove?

The list is long but the best rule of thumb is to try in anywhere. We know it works great on trouble stains like, grease, oil, coffee, tea, soda, wine, dirt, grass, pet stains, food, ketchup, mustard, and chocolate.
