Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a very sticky business, whether it’s stuck on your concrete, parking lot or on the side of a building, gum eventually changes into a black smudge on concrete. But before then, visitors and customers walking into a business will walk on it and get 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 another person 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 Carrollton TX. Find information on our methods below:
The best methods for removing gum from concrete depends on the gum’s age and 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 remove it by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping the gum off with a putty knife.
The ice forces the gum to freeze into a more forgiving consistency compared to a warm and stringy mess. Once the gum is frozen, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper under the gum. Next we slide the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should then peel right off the concrete.
The above method is only possible with gum that is brand new.
When we remove gum that is already black, or is already smashed down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we won’t use very high pressure because that might damage the surface of the concrete!
Our pressure washers never uses more pressure than necessary to safely clean concrete. These types of surfaces can be destroyed a lot 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 professional chewing gum removal service.
To remove gum from concrete and other commercial surfaces we use custom designed hot water power washing equipment and powerful soaps that allow us to effectively clean the concrete without resulting in any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water pressure washers and low pressure, we safely remove chewing gum and surface dirt while protecting the surface. Our process will also destroy bacteria and germs that sometimes found in gum.
