Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a sticky situation, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually turns into a dark smudge on your concrete. But before that happens, pedestrians and customers coming into a business will walk on the gum and get it in all over the carpets, rugs and entryway mats. Then it’s forced deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete or asphalt, 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 Redmond WA. Find more information about our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been stuck there and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left not long ago and it has not penetrated the surface, 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 gum to freeze into a more forgiving substance compared to a gooey and stringy mess. Once the gum is frozen, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper right under the gum. After that we move the scraper very slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should peel right off of the concrete.

The above method is only possible with gum that is brand new.

When we remove chewing gum that has turned black, or is already smashed deep down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we don’t use high pressure because that could ruin the surface of the concrete!

Our team never uses more pressure than necessary to safely clean commercial concrete surfaces. These types of 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 completely. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our professional chewing gum removal service.
