Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky business, whether it is stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually transforms into a black smudge on concrete. But usually before that happens, pedestrians and clientele walking into a store or office will step on the chewing gum and track it in all over your carpets and entryway mats. Then it’s forced deep into the carpet fibers and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for another person to step in it again, to track it somewhere else.

We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Greenville NC. Find information on our process below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing chewing gum from concrete depends on the gum’s age and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left not long ago and it hasn’t penetrated the surface, we are sometimes 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 substance compared to a warm and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum residue. Next we move the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the whole piece should peel right off of the concrete.

The above process is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove gum that has turned black, or is smashed down into the concrete, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we do not use very high pressure because that could harm the surface of the concrete!

Our crew never uses more pressure than necessary to clean concrete. These types of surfaces can be damaged a lot easier than people think, especially if they’re only a few 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 gum removal service.
