Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a very sticky business, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually changes into a black smudge on concrete. But usually before that happens, visitors and clientele walking into a business will step on it and get it in all over the carpets and mats. Then it’s embedded deep into the carpet fibers and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to track it somewhere else.

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in San Leandro CA. Find information on our methods below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing chewing gum from concrete usually depends on how long the gum has been there and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left not long ago and it has not penetrated the surface, we might be able to get it off by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping the gum off with a putty knife.

The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a more forgiving substance compared to a warm and stringy glob. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper right under the gum. Next we slide the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should peel right off of the concrete.

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

When we remove gum that has turned black, or is smashed down into the concrete, 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 won’t use high pressure because that could harm the surface of the concrete!

Our crew never uses more pressure than necessary to clean commercial concrete. These surfaces can be destroyed a lot easier than people think, especially if they’re only a couple of years old. Concrete can need up to 100 years to cure completely. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our gum removal professional.
