What You Need to Know About Removing Chewing Gum?

Chewing gum is one of the most irritating substances, particularly to clean. Gum leaves quite a mess on carpet fibers, upholstery, fabrics, and hard surfaces. Most of the time, when removal is attempted, fabrics and surfaces are left stained; or worse, gum residues are left tarnishing the appearance of the surface. The most efficient method for removing chewing gum from a host of surfaces is gum removal steam cleaners.

This gum removal equipment uses a combination of high steam temperatures, up to 360ºF, and simultaneous vacuum extraction to remove chewing gum faster and more efficiently than any other type of machine, method, or chemical on the market.

The use of high steam temperatures is necessary to soften and dissolve gum on contact while sanitizing the surface. Some steam cleaners for gum removal even come with anti-bacterial technology to kill 99.9% of bacteria and other disease causing pathogens. The use of such machines will not only provide the utmost in gum removal capabilities, but will allow the user to disinfect the area once tarnished by gum and corresponding bacteria.

Vacuum extraction is another necessary feature for gum removal equipment. Machines that do not extract while cleaning will leave the loosened gum residues on the surface. These residues can become embedded once again, defeating the purpose of cleaning. But, through the use of extraction, gum removal equipment will vacuum up all gum residues left on surfaces to ensure surfaces are left gum-free.

For the most effective results, it is important to combine a chewing gum removal solution with the advanced cleaning power provided by steam cleaners. This tremendously increases removal rates, up to 500 pieces in an hour with the right piece of equipment.
