Solution to your Sticky Problems
Ever heard those terrible remarks from your mother on account of being careless regarding your new clothes? That sticky substance would not get off how much you try and that dreaded gum is stuck to your new clothes like forever! Don’t worry because we have the solution to all your sticky problems and these efficient tips will remove the gum without much hassle.
From many of the methods to remove the chewing gum there are a few available with us.
Boiling method is applicable using hot water to scrape off the gum with a tooth brush or a sharp object. Allow the drying of the cloth, if the gum doesn’t come off then repeat the process using the kettle’s steam. Another way is gas/petrol method. Gas helps in dissolving the gum but it needs special care since gasoline is flammable and hazardous for health.
Freezing method is useful when a freezer and plastic bag is available to remove the gum. Put the cloth in a sealed plastic bag such that the gum doesn’t stick to it and place it in the freezer for several hours. Now, peel the gum off immediately or use ice cubes if the gum can’t be scraped easily. Ironing method allows you to put the gum cloth on a cardboard piecing facing towards it. On medium heat, iron the cloth until the gum is removed and comes on the cardboard.
Nobody would have ever thought of using the peanut butter to remove the gum from the cloth. Since it contains oil, use it over the gum and scrape it with a knife. In case of oil stains, use a stain remover. Vinegar method is handy and can be used at home. In a cup of hot vinegar, dip a brush and gently rub it over the gum. It works best and you can get rid of the chewing gum easily when the vinegar’s hot enough. Wash the cloth to make the cloth free from vinegar’s scent.
Hair spray comes under the category of laundry soap, hence helps best in wiping off the chewing gum. Spray the area of concern and use a fingernail or knife in scrapping it off and later can be washed as the cloth becomes hard from that part. Duct tape method belongs from our granny’s time period and is considered one of the easiest methods. Take a piece of duct tape, press it firmly on the gum and take it off. Repeat the process until successful.
These chewing gum removing methods can easily be applied at home, thus serve the purpose of successfully getting rid of the problem. However, hot iron and oil should be handled with care.

Decorate your home on this 14 August
Decorate your home on this 14 August
Decoration is a symbol that is used to tell that something special is going on. We decorate our homes in a special way on various occasions like birthday parties, wedding ceremonies and other celebrations. Celebrations ask for theme decorationsthrough which we express our joy, excitement and other emotions of care and concern. Decoration on 14 August is specifically made to bring forth ourpatriotism, our love for Pakistan and our identity as proud Pakistanis. Pakistan’s Independence Day means our independence day as a Muslim nation. Pakistan is a place where we enjoy the freedom of being what we are, say what we want and practice what we think is right. Pakistan is not less than an affectionate mother who hides all the weaknesses of her children and presents them as confident and independent entities before everyone.
Every year we get a chance to tell others what we feel for this home of ours through making Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations. To express our patriotism we decorate our homes on 14 August-Pakistan’s Independence Day. Every decoration follows a theme and so do this special decoration. We Use Pakistan’s flags and wave them high on the top of our homes. Pakistan’s flag assumes a sacred position in every Pakistani’s heart. The Pak green color represents the Muslim nation while white portion represents other minorities.
Pakistan is a place where people from all religions and races co exist peacefully and this is what our flag manifests. Placing the flag as high as possible denotes our deep wishes to see Pakistan soaring up and making its mark as a fully developed country.
Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations ask for special home decorations on this 14 August. Fashion Central wishes that every Pakistani decorates his home in such a way that the whole Pakistan glows. We wish there is a flag on every roof top, and chiragh (earthen lamps) in every hand, one chiragh to lit the other and this goes on till the whole map of Pakistan lights up. Chiragh is a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and traditions. By lightening up these little earthen lamps we show that every person holds responsible to carry forward our traditions and culture. Moreover, the Pakistani people transfer the light of knowledge and wisdom to one another and thus live peacefully.
Bounties (Jhandian) are an essential part of decoration on 14 August. If you are a Pakistani, don’t forget to use as many jhandian as possible as they denote our enthusiasm and passion as a living nation. Celebrations are for those who live and have a spark of life with all its colours.
Along with the decoration on 14 August and other celebrations of Pakistan’s Independence Day, Fashion Central reminds Every Pakistani that Pakistan’s existence is a result of many sacrifices which our founders and national heroes have observed. And these sacrifices ask for a pay back. As Pakistani, every single holds certain liabilities. Every person has a potential to change the destiny of this nation and take Pakistan to the peak where it was actually dreamed of. We need to contribute as much as possible for this mother land of ours so that our coming generations also live peacefully and enjoy their independence in a better way.
