How to Get Sticky Stuff Off Carpet: You want to make sure that you are ready to tackle a spot on your carpet from sticky candy or gum. These are one of the hardest things to clean off your carpet if you don’t use the correct method. The gum or candy will become attached to the carpet fibers and you want to make sure that you are careful when removing it so that it does not spread out. You want to make sure that you use a bag of ice to freeze the spot. This will prevent it from getting stuck further in the carpet so that you can chip it away. The frozen candy can be broken off the carpet with a butter knife or plastic card. You want to pick up the pieces that are chipped away as soon as possible before they warm back up.
