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, gum eventually transforms into a black smudge on concrete. But before that point, pedestrians and clientele coming into a business will walk on it and track it in all over the carpets, rugs and entryway mats. Then it is forced deep into the carpet fibers and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else.

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Thousand Oaks CA. Find more 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 gum was left not long ago and it has not penetrated the surface yet, we might be able to get it off by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping it off with a metal putty knife.

The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a more forgiving consistency compared to a gooey and stringy mess. Once that happens, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper directly under the gum. Then we slide the scraper very slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should then 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 already smashed deep down into the concrete, we use a hot water power washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we do not use high pressure because that could ruin the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses any more pressure than needed to safely clean commercial concrete. These types of surfaces can be destroyed a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only 1-2 years old. Concrete can require 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.
