Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a sticky business, whether it’s stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually changes into a dark smudge on concrete. But before that happens, pedestrians and customers walking into a store or office will step on the gum and get it in all over your carpets and mats. Then it’s embedded deep into the carpet 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 happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Murfreesboro TN. Find information about our process below:
The best methods of removing gum from concrete usually depends on the gum’s age and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left recently 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 putty knife.
The ice forces the chewing gum to freeze into a workable consistency compared to a gooey and stringy mess. Once the gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum. Next we slide the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the whole piece should peel right off the concrete.
The above process is only possible with brand new gum.
When we remove chewing gum that has turned black, or is smashed deep down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we don’t use very high pressure because that will sometimes ruin the surface of the concrete!
Our crew never uses any more pressure than necessary to safely clean concrete surfaces. 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 completely. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our chewing gum removal professional.
To remove chewing gum from concrete and other surfaces we use custom designed hot water power washing equipment and professional-grade soaps and detergents that enable us to effectively clean the surface without causing any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water pressure washers and low pressure equipment, we can safely remove gum and dirt while protecting the surface. Our method will also eliminate bacteria and germs that are found in gum on concrete.
By hiring Murfreesboro Pressure Washing for regular maintenance commercial cleaning at your store or office, your property will have a better appearance and all chewing gum removal issues will be dealt with!
