Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky business, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually changes into a black smudge on concrete. But before that happens, visitors and customers coming into a business will step on the gum and get it in all over your carpets, rugs and mats. Then it’s embedded 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.

We are happy to offer gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Fort Lauderdale FL. Find information on our methods below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been there and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left not long ago and it hasn’t penetrated the surface, we are sometimes able to remove it by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping it off with a 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 putty knife or scraper directly under the gum residue. Next we move 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 is already black, or is already smashed down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal, we don’t use very 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 surfaces can be damaged much easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a few 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.
