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

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Sammamish WA. Find more information about our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing gum from concrete usually depends on how long the gum has been stuck there and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left not long ago and it hasn’t penetrated the surface yet, we might be able to get it off 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 more forgiving consistency compared to a warm and stringy glob. Once the chewing gum is frozen, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper directly under the gum residue. Next we slide the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off of the concrete.

The above process is only possible with gum that is brand new.

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

Our team never uses more pressure than necessary to clean commercial concrete. These surfaces can be damaged a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a couple of 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.
