Chewing Gum & Graffiti Removal
We are often asked if chewing gum and graffiti removal is something we can help with.
The answer is yes.
We help with chewing gum removal and graffiti removal from property, buildings, floors and walls.
Unfortunately, along with household properties, this is a common requirement of both local authorities and the organisations responsible for managing heritage assets.
We can undertake all types of removal using our:
- THERMATECH cleaning system, producing superheated water up to a temperatures of 150ᵒC
- Our Vacuum blasting method using our Tornado ACS system, or
- Our GUMWAND chewing gum removal machine
See our building and masonry cleaning section for more details on these systems.
We also use a proprietary range of carefully formulated chemical products for graffiti removal and anti-graffiti protection:
- A multi-purpose, low-hazard remover
- A concentrated alkaline ghosting remover
- An acetic acid after-wash to neutralise the ghosting remover
- A water-based microcrystalline wax emulsion anti-graffiti coating
- A thixotropic gel for softening resinous paints including graffiti
To remove chewing gum and graffiti safely and effectively, without causing permanent damage to the underlying substrate, requires expert knowledge of appropriate methods and chemicals where necessary.
Our service also enables us to remove marker pen damage from surfaces with a hypochlorite-based activated clay product.
