Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky situation, whether it’s stuck on your concrete, parking lot or on the side of a building, gum eventually turns into a black smudge on your concrete. But usually before then, pedestrians and customers walking into a store or office will walk on it and get it in all over your carpets, rugs and 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 in your building.

We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Kirkland WA. Find information on our process below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing 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 not long ago and it has not penetrated the surface yet, we might be able to get it off by covering it with ice until the gum freezes, then scraping it off with a metal putty knife.

The ice forces the gum to freeze into a workable consistency compared to a gooey and sticky mess. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper right under the gum. Then we slide the scraper very slowly beneath the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off of the concrete.

The above process is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove gum that is already black, or is already 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, we don’t use very high pressure because that might damage the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses any more pressure than needed to clean commercial concrete surfaces. These surfaces can be destroyed a lot 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.
