In the hospitality industry, cleanliness and hygiene are critical for everything from client perception to ratings. To maintain proper ratings, hotels, motels, and other such places should be neat and clean. One of the most difficult tasks when cleaning these areas is chewing gum removal. Not only is hardened gum difficult to remove, but too much force may damage the surface being cleaned.

To make chewing gum removal more effective and to ensure the surface it is not damaged, it is recommended to use gum removing equipment. Gum removal equipment uses steam to break down the “grip” of the gum on the surface, thus making it easier to remove. Additional breakdown is completed with the addition of a gum dissolving solution. This requires much less effort and time than manual scraping.

The best chewing gum removal machines do use stainless steel detailing brushes. These are used to agitate and loosen more stubborn gum wads. For best results, the brush should be threaded onto the gum tool for maximum strength. As these systems are advanced vacuum steam cleaners, they also boast a powerful wet vacuum for easy and completed removal of gum deposits.

Use these machines in the swimming pool, porch, lobby, entrance, and other areas where unsightly chewing gum deposits are a problem. You can also use these steam cleaning machines for non chewing gum removal applications, such as cleaning tiles, grouts, and disinfecting kitchens, bathrooms, and spa areas.
