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

We are happy to offer gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Oklahoma City OK. Find information about our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of 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 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 the gum freezes, then scraping the gum off with a putty knife.

The ice forces the gum to freeze into a more forgiving substance compared to a gooey and sticky mess. Once the gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum residue. Then we slide 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, we use a hot water power washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we don’t use 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 types of surfaces can be damaged a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only a couple of years old. Concrete can take 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.
