Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky business, whether it’s on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually turns into a dark smudge on your concrete. But before that happens, visitors and clients coming into a store or office will walk on it and track it in all over your carpets and entryway mats. Then it is forced deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete or asphalt, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to track it somewhere else in your building.

We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Mission Viejo CA. Find more information about our methods below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing gum from concrete usually depends on how long the gum has been stuck there 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 the gum off with a metal putty knife.

The ice forces the gum to freeze into a workable substance compared to a warm and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum residue. After that we move the scraper very slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should peel right off the concrete.

The above process is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove chewing gum that has turned black, or is smashed deep down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we do not use very high pressure because that will sometimes damage the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses any more pressure than needed to safely clean concrete. These surfaces can be destroyed a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a few years old. Concrete can require 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.
