Chewing gum litter is a persistent issue that can quickly damage the appearance and safety of your commercial or public property. It clings to pavements, collects grime, stains surfaces, and leaves customers with a negative impression before they even step through the door. For sites with heavy footfall, this build-up becomes very difficult to manage with standard cleaning equipment. That is where professional jet washing chewing gum removal services deliver real results.
At Cavalry Cleaning, we understand what your exterior space says about your brand. Visitors, staff, service users and potential clients all begin forming opinions the moment they arrive. A forecourt or entrance surrounded by discarded gum stains reflects poorly on your standards. Our service is designed to restore and protect your property’s image using high-powered, commercial-grade jet washing systems that break down gum and surface grime without causing any damage to the substrate.
Dropped gum might seem like a minor annoyance, but the buildup can damage your reputation and even pose health and safety risks. When combined with damp conditions, old gum becomes slippery, increasing the chances of trips or falls in busy retail centres, business parks, schools and council-maintained walkways.
It also sends a very powerful message. A neglected outdoor space implies neglect on the inside too. If your premises have public access, a professional finish is non-negotiable.
Our jet washing chewing gum removal services not only clean but also elevate the quality of your surroundings.
Jet washing is one of the most effective ways to tackle stubborn, embedded chewing gum. Our experienced team utilises machinery that delivers controlled pressure alongside hot water to break apart gum residues and dislodge them without breaking or eroding the material underneath. Compared to manual scrubbing or chemical-based applications, this method is faster, safer for the surrounding environment and longer-lasting.
Our system works well across a wide range of materials including concrete, tarmac, block paving, textured tiles and paving slabs. Strategic cleaning around public benches, waste disposal zones, retail park entrances, bollards and doorways ensures these high-contact areas remain clean, clear and more welcoming.
We recently delivered a deep clean for a regional office park where walkways had suffered from extensive gum build-up. Our work restored clean paving lines and left a visibly improved surface that the facilities manager said was the best it had looked in years.
Investing in jet washing chewing gum removal services now prevents the long-term wear, surface erosion and staining that might otherwise lead to the need for full resurfacing later.
