Thanks Tony, but I'm in South Wales, which is a bit of a way for a spitting party!  ;D

No it's a place that I rent out, where the tenant did one and left it in a bit of a state.  >:(  ::)  Hey ho....  ::)

Anyway the ice worked a treat! I made a big block last night in a marg tub, sat it on the gummy patch for half and hour and then gave it a good scrub and it's all come out!  :y

OOF to the rescue once again!!!  :y :y :y

I'll see tomorrow when it's all dried out, but yes I might have a very clean patch!  ::) 

Should be good though, it's dark brown with a speckle in it, so it hides a lot of abuse!  ;)  :y

Freezing potentially damages the pile/fabric as you get a solid block containing both sweet and fabric... Spit is free and guaranteed to work every time :y

Not if done properly,................ ;) :y And if spit removed chewing gum why are there so many products on the market?................ :-\ :-\

Don't feel 'slighted' Al, I was keeping the spit method in reserve!  :y  ie I'd have probably spat on it in disgust if the ice hadn't worked..  ::)  ;D

Cut out a square foot of carpet with a sharp knife and replace it with a piece from under the sofa. :y
