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

We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Hawthorne CA. Find more information on our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing gum from concrete usually depends on the gum’s age and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left recently and it hasn’t penetrated the surface yet, we are sometimes 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 chewing gum to freeze into a workable substance compared to a gooey and stringy glob. Once the chewing gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum. Then we move the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off 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 deep down into the concrete surface, 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 service, we won’t use high pressure because that could harm the surface of the concrete!

Our crew never uses more pressure than needed to safely clean commercial concrete. These surfaces can be destroyed 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 chewing gum removal service.
