How do I get duct tape gum out of fabric?

I put duct tape on my bike seat and it peeled up. I didn't notice and now it's on my favorite pants. I'm such a fool.

    A product called "Goof Off". Home Depot sells it for sure. Just make sure you don't have any animals, or children in the room with you. If you do this indoors make sure to open all the windows in your house for about a half hour to an hour depending on how much there is. ALWAYS wear good rubber gloves (not the cheap, see through kind) when using this product. Just dab it onto a paper towel or cotton ball and generously dab the area and let it sit for about 2 minutes, then back and forth gently until it starts to lift. It's safe on most fabrics so don't be afraid to get a little on you, just make certain that it doesn't come into contact with your skin and that you put the clothing in the wash when you're done. Then wash the bike seat in warm soapy water.

    Good luck!
