Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky business, whether it’s stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually changes into a smudge on concrete. But before that happens, pedestrians and customers coming into a business will step on it and get it in all over the 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 track it somewhere else in your building.
We are happy to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Inglewood CA. Find more information about our service below:
The best methods for removing chewing gum from concrete usually 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 hasn’t penetrated the surface, we are sometimes 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 chewing gum to freeze into a workable consistency compared to a gooey and stringy glob. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum residue. Then we slide the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the entire piece should peel right off the concrete.
The above method is only possible with brand new gum.
When we remove chewing gum that has turned black, or is smashed deep down into the concrete, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the gum. For this type of gum removal service, we will not use high pressure because that will sometimes damage the surface of the concrete!
Our team never uses more pressure than necessary to clean commercial concrete surfaces. These surfaces can be destroyed a lot easier than people think, especially if they’re only a few 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.
To completely remove gum from parking lots and other surfaces we use custom designed hot water power washing tools and powerful soaps and detergents that allow us to clean the surface without resulting in any damages.
Using special 200 degree hot water pressure washers and low pressure, we safely remove chewing gum and dirt all while protecting the surface. Our method will also eliminate bacteria and viruses that are found in gum on concrete.
By hiring Inglewood Pressure Washing for routine maintenance commercial cleaning at your store or office, your commercial property will have better curb appeal and all chewing gum removal problems will be dealt with! You will also ensure less damage to carpets and interior flooring while also making your storefront much more inviting to customers.
