Title: Can you?
Post by: 99stevethered68 on April 23, 2004, 02:02:52 am

I have recently purchased Edge Ranger 15200PT 200bar 3000psi with a Edge rotawash 18" floor Cleaner
and i was wondering if i can add something to this to remove chewing gum.

Just starting out so any help would be greatly received

cheers
steve

Hi Steve,

I think you will need a commercial/industrial vapour steam cleaning machine with a chemical to remove chewing gum in large quantities quickly.
check out the following websites-

good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I was just hoping that there might have been a chemical i could add to my system to remove chewing gum without the hot steam.

I was thinking of adding an hotwater boiler but not until a later date rather than buying an independent machine for that job.

Theres chewing gum everywhere and a steady supply  of kids throwing it on the floor.

Cheers
Steve

I've read on here somewhere recently that solutions do a really good gum remover which doesn't need any heat.
Give Nick at solutions a bell, He'll put you right.

;) You need to know wether the chewing gum is real or synthetic. Real made from rubber can be sprayed to freeze it and then can be cracked off, synthetic gum can be removed using chemicals.
