For small leather objects like gloves or purses, put the object in the freezer until the gum freezes. For larger objects, put a few ice cubes in a small plastic bag and put the bag on the gum until it hardens. Once the gum is frozen it comes off easily without scratching leather! You may also use, with extreme caution, Lighter fluid. Simply scrub off gum stains with a towel and a little lighter fluid.
