Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a very sticky situation, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually turns into a dark smudge on concrete. But usually before then, visitors and clients walking into a business will step on it and get it in all over the carpets, rugs and mats. Then it is embedded deep into the carpet fibers and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for another person to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else.
We are happy to offer gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Huntsville AL. Find more information on our methods below:
The best methods of removing chewing gum from concrete usually depends on the gum’s age and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left recently and it hasn’t penetrated the surface, we are sometimes able to remove it by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping the gum off with a putty knife.
The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a more forgiving consistency compared to a warm and stringy mess. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum residue. Next we move the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should peel right off the concrete.
The above process is only possible with gum that is brand new.
When we remove chewing gum that is already black, or is already smashed deep down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we will not use high pressure because that could ruin the surface of the concrete!
Our team never uses more pressure than necessary to clean commercial concrete surfaces. These surfaces can be damaged a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a few years old. Concrete can need up to 100 years to cure. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our professional gum removal professional.
To remove chewing gum from sidewalks and other commercial surfaces we use specially designed hot water pressure washing tools and professional-grade soaps that enable us to effectively clean the surface without resulting in any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water pressure washers and low pressure, we are able to safely remove chewing gum and surface dirt while protecting the surface. Our process will also eliminate bacteria and viruses that can be found in gum.
