Put the mat in the freezer , and then when the offending chewing gum is suitably solid just pull it off .

What he says.

The olde worlde way is to put ice cubes on it then when good & hard it picks off more or less in one piece.

I dare say there is some Stain Devil "Gum Away" stuff as well.

Or a steam cleaner will boil it off.
