Removing Chewing Gum from Streets

How do municipalities ensure that streets, parks, and squares are free of chewing gum?

Municipalities want to give their towns or cities an appealing look. It should be a pleasant place for both residents and visitors to spend time. Beautiful streets and squares increase the attractiveness of a municipality, as does a well-maintained park. People naturally feel more comfortable in a clean and visually appealing environment. Unfortunately, litter, empty cans, cigarette butts, and many chewing gum residues are all too often seen in public spaces. Sidewalks are full of trash, and in parks, waste sometimes lies beside the bins rather than inside them. This is an eyesore for many. All this mess harms the environment and living conditions and can even have negative social implications.

How Does Street Chewing Gum Removal Work?

The GumFree fluid is carried in boiling droplets by steam. A brush is attached to the end of the lance, which creates scratches in the gum to allow the fluid to act. The gum is then fully dissolved in an eco-friendly manner within 4 to 5 seconds.

GumFree Brushes:

  • GumFree Flexible Brass Brush: Suitable for all types of stone.
  • GumFree Strong Stainless Steel Brush: Only for concrete and hard-baked stones.

GumFree removes all types of chewing gum – including sugar-free gum – from any type of paving.

Additional Information on Gum Removal:

On the street, people need to watch out not to step on sticky pieces of gum. This sticky substance ends up on shoe soles and unknowingly gets tracked into cars, leading to stains on car mats or seat upholstery. This causes a lot of frustration, as there’s nothing more annoying than shoes with gum residue – or worse, clothes. If pieces of gum are unknowingly brought into the home and end up on the carpet, no one is happy about it…
