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

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Centennial CO. Find information on our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing chewing gum from concrete depends on the gum’s age and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left recently and it has not penetrated the surface yet, we are sometimes able to remove it 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 metal putty knife or scraper right under the gum. Next we move the scraper slowly under the gum and the entire piece should then peel right off of the concrete.

The above method is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove chewing gum that has turned black, or is already 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, we do not use very high pressure because that might harm the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses more pressure than necessary to safely clean commercial concrete. These types of surfaces can be destroyed much easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a couple of 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 chewing gum removal professional.
