Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be 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 concrete. But before then, visitors and clientele coming into a business will walk on it and track it in all over the carpets, rugs 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 in your building.

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Pasadena CA. Find more information on our methods 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 recently and it has not 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 metal putty knife.

The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a workable consistency compared to a gooey and sticky mess. Once the chewing gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum. Next we move the scraper very slowly beneath 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 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 gum. For this type of gum removal, we won’t use very high pressure because that might ruin the surface of the concrete!

Our team never uses any more pressure than necessary to safely clean concrete surfaces. 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 service.
