Post by: Neil Grainger on July 17, 2007, 06:58:39 am

Morning All

Just won a contract to clean a School, More Chewing Gum than Carpet, Think the Job will take about 4 days but 2 days are removal of chewing gum.

Can anyone suggest the best system for removing Gum quickly and easily.

Cheers
Neil

Steam.........not a little toy though, you need some pressure and following the breakup, you will require a solvent to remove the residue, also, you will need to vacuum the " blasted " and broken up gum.

A lot easier with 2 people, due to the number of separate tasks !

Others will suggest a number of different products, but I found the above to be the quickest and least time consuming.

Solutions Chewing gum Remover  works best for me (melts the stuff away!)
I have used it on big jobs like cinemas and schools. Also the odour is not too bad.
