Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky situation, whether it’s on your concrete, parking lot or on the side of a building, gum eventually turns into a black smudge on your concrete. But usually before that point, visitors and clientele coming into a store or office will walk on the gum and get it in all over your carpets, rugs and mats. Then it’s forced deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete or asphalt, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to track it somewhere else.

We are proud to offer gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Auburn WA. Find more information about our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been stuck there and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left recently and it hasn’t penetrated the surface yet, we might be able to get it off 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 workable consistency compared to a warm and stringy mess. Once the gum is frozen, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper under the gum. After that we slide the scraper slowly under the gum and the entire piece should then peel right off of the concrete.

The above process is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove chewing gum that is already black, or is already smashed down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal, we will not use high pressure because that might harm the surface of the concrete!

Our crew never uses any more pressure than necessary to safely clean commercial concrete. These surfaces can be destroyed much easier than 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 professional.
