I clean carpets for a living.. when we come across gum in the carpet, we have little bottles of freon.. (availabe at carpet cleaning supply houses) yes the same freon you use in your fridge or ac.. 12 or 22.. I dont know about the new 134 stuff.. spraying it on the gum freezes it solid.. then you just hammer it and it busts into a million pieces.. leaving the carpet unharmed.. even in the gum is matted deep., it end up in particals. I would assume it would work with clothing and hair too...

^ 134a gas is the same gas you use with the computer sprays air can sprays so. when you spray close enough (1-3 inches) it actually freezes the part but it only works if you spray it for more than 5 seconds. i guess that would work too.
