Gum Removal Service
Ugly black smudges that can be found on sidewalks everywhere are the remnants of improperly discarded gum. Your customers shouldn't have to play hopscotch to avoid stepping on them when entering your facility.
Let us help you say
Is it important to remove gum from sidewalks ?
The problem
After cigarette butts, discarded chewing gum is the second largest littering item in the world. And talk about sticking around, discarded gum can literally take hundreds of years to biodegrade.
Concrete has lots of extremely tiny pores in it. Chewing gum can seep into these pores and become a nightmare to deal with. Dark splotches are the result of gum that has been on the surface for a long time.
In addition to being a nuisance and not being nice to look at, discarded gum can also be a germ collector.
The solution
There are various methods for removing this kind of litter from concrete and other surfaces. One of the more common methods of cleaning is pressure washing. While applying an immense amount of pressure on concrete might make gum remnants go away, it might also etch the surface. You might even be able to use a scraper and some ice to scrape off some fresher pieces. However, scraping won't remove the black splotches and if there's lots of gum to be removed it could take forever.
