Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky business, whether it is stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually changes into a smudge on concrete. But before that point, pedestrians and clients walking into a business will walk on the gum and get it in all over your carpets and entryway mats. Then it’s forced deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else.
We are proud to offer gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Cypress TX. Find more information about our service 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 has not penetrated the surface, we might be able to remove it by covering it with ice until the gum freezes, then scraping it off with a metal putty knife.
The ice forces the gum to freeze into a workable substance compared to a gooey and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum. After that we slide the scraper slowly under the gum and the entire piece should then peel right off the concrete.
The above method is only possible with brand new gum.
When we remove gum that has turned black, or is smashed deep down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal, we will not use high pressure because that might harm the surface of the concrete!
Our crew never uses any more pressure than needed to safely clean commercial concrete surfaces. These surfaces can be destroyed much easier than most people think, especially if they’re only 1-2 years old. Concrete can take up to 100 years to cure completely. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our professional chewing gum removal service.
To remove gum from concrete and other surfaces we use custom designed hot water pressure washing tools and professional-grade soaps and detergents that allow us to effectively clean the concrete without resulting in any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water power washers and low pressure equipment, we safely remove gum and dirt all while protecting the surface. Our method will also eliminate bacteria and germs that are found in gum.
