How do you get seriously stuck bubble gum out of a wooden floor?

Hello!

My daughter dropped her gum on the wooden floor. It’s really stuck in the grooves, it looks like she has rolled over it with the office chair several times. I don’t want to have to get down and scrape it off knowing I could seriously damage the floor or the finish on it. Is there anything I could do to get it out?

Try Oomph in a spray bottle, supermarkets and Bunnings stock it.

I have heard eucalyptus oil rubbed in will do the trick.

When we got gum on our floor we used ice to freeze it them carefully chipped it off. It took a long time to do so would love to hear if anyone has a quicker way

this is a great question. surely a member will suggest solving that will loosen it without damaging the finish. maybe you could ring a proffessional and see if they will hand you out some free advice.
