In need of some advice

Alright i know this sounds really weird but does any one know how to get glue off of a fridge? I have tried everything from bleach to fingernail polish remover. Nothing is working. I want to try to scrape it off but i don't know if that will just scratch it.
Also, does anyone know how to get bubbles out of the carpet (a whole bottle was spilt) i will wash it but it just foams up like crazy then i think i have it all but when it dries it turns hard and crusty. I have repeated it three times now and it turns out the same way every time.
I will try anything, just let me know.

I actually have no idea of what to do about either of those things-but just out of curiosity what kind of glue in on your fridge (hot glue?) and what kind of finish does your fridge have? The first fridge we had was from my husbands parents and they had used it in their garage for years so I scrubbed it with a green scrubby pad and the grime came off along with a little bit of paint but you couldn't tell.

I should clarify(0: You couldn't tell that some of the paint had come off, it looked like new after I scrubbed it.

I would say to keep doing what your doing with your carpet until it no longer feels hard, or rent a carpet cleaner and go over it a few times with no soap in it, just the water:)

I don't know about the glue. I would probably scrape it off and live with a scratch. Keep scrubbing those bubbles off the carpet. Kyle spilled bubbles in our rental. I didn't scrub like I should and it left a huge dirty ring. My housekeeper with not much of a problem, after we left!

LOL, oops, I missed a line... "my housekeeper got it out with not much of a problem." I'm half asleep here. It's 12am. Better get to bed :)

Oops! will work for sure. It gets about anything you can think of out of carpet (even super glue and paint) without harming it, so I'm pretty sure it will work on your frige. You can buy it at any hardware or paint store. I would just test a little spot on your fridge first to make sure it won't ruin it, but it should get the glue out. And it's just called Oops!

Oh, and for the bubbles....you can sometimes rent a carpet cleaner at your grocery store or harware store and use that to get the bubbles out. Just don't use the detergent....only water and you should be good. I know all this stuff becuase we are very accident prone at our house. :)

I am not sure about the glue...have you tried Goo Gone? For the bubbles I would get a little hand-held "spot-cleaner" they are much cheaper than a full on carpet shampooer and come in really handy with kids. Like the comment before...don't use the detergent just spray with water and then suck up the water and the bubbles. It may take a few tries, but it should work.
