Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky situation, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually changes into a black smudge on your concrete. But usually before then, visitors and clientele walking into a store or office will step on it and get it in all over your carpets and entryway mats. Then it is embedded deep into the carpet fibers and into the porous surface of concrete, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else in your building.

We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Wichita KS. Find information about our process 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 recently and it hasn’t penetrated the surface, we might be able to remove it by covering it with ice until the gum 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 gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum. Then we move the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off the concrete.

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

When we remove gum that has turned black, or is 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 high pressure because that could damage the surface of the concrete!

Our team never uses any more pressure than needed to clean concrete. These surfaces can be damaged 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.
