Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky business, whether it is stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually transforms into a smudge on your concrete. But before that point, visitors and clientele walking into a store or office will walk on it and get it in all over the carpets and entryway mats. Then it is embedded deep into the carpet fibers 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 provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Chandler AZ. Find more information about our process below:
The best methods for removing chewing 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 hasn’t penetrated the surface yet, we might be able to remove it by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping the gum off with a metal putty knife.
The ice forces the gum to freeze into a workable consistency compared to a gooey and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper under the gum. Then 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 gum that is brand new.
When we remove gum that is already black, or is already smashed deep down into the concrete, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal, we won’t use high pressure because that will sometimes ruin the surface of the concrete!
Our pressure washers never uses more pressure than necessary to safely clean commercial concrete surfaces. These types of surfaces can be destroyed much easier than people think, especially if they’re only a few years old. Concrete can take up to 100 years to cure. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our chewing gum removal professional.
To remove chewing gum from parking lots and other surfaces we use specially designed hot water pressure washing tools and professional-grade soaps that enable us to effectively clean the surface without leading to any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water power washers and low pressure, we are able to safely remove chewing gum and dirt all while protecting the surface. Our service will also eliminate bacteria and viruses that are found in gum on concrete.
