Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal is a sticky business, whether it’s stuck on your concrete, parking lot or on the side of a building, chewing gum eventually transforms into a black smudge on concrete. But usually before that happens, visitors and clients walking into a store or office will step on the gum and get 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, just waiting for another person to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else in your building.

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

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing chewing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been there and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing 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 chewing gum to freeze into a workable substance compared to a warm and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a metal putty knife or scraper right under the gum. Then we slide the scraper very slowly under the gum and the entire piece should peel right off of the concrete.

The above process is only possible with brand new gum.

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

Our pressure washers never uses any more pressure than necessary to clean commercial concrete. 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 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 chewing gum removal service.
