Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky business, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually turns into a black smudge on your concrete. But before that happens, pedestrians and customers walking into a business will step on the chewing gum and get it in all over the carpets and 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 track it somewhere else in your building.

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

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing gum from concrete usually depends on how long the gum has been stuck there and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left not long ago 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 metal putty knife.

The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a more forgiving substance compared to a gooey and stringy mess. Once the chewing gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper right under the gum residue. Then we move the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off of the concrete.

The above method 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 pressure washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we do not use very high pressure because that could damage the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses more pressure than needed to clean concrete surfaces. These types of surfaces can be damaged a lot easier than people think, especially if they’re only a few years old. Concrete can need up to 100 years to cure. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our chewing gum removal professional.
