Look for Spot Shot. It works well on most stuff on a carpet. Be careful not
to saturate the area. It will also soften the backer and the cement on the
back.

We have some carpet in a store we recently purchased that has gum stuck to
it in a few places. Any suggestions on how to remove this? The carpet is
that short napped, grey office type you see everywhere. Thanks in advance
for any help....Ross
