Matrix Cleaning Systems can remove chewing gum from almost any surface from block paving, asphalt, concrete, natural stone, metal, wood, carpet, entrance mats and many more materials.
Our method of chewing gum removal is to use super heated steam at 175° C delivered at 8 bar pressure, using 25lts of water per machine in 8 hours continuous use, also injecting a biodegradable, non-caustic detergent on to the chewing gum to dissolve the gum to a fine non sticky powder that sweeps or vacuums up when dry.
We heat the chewing gum with super heated steam and at the same time inject the detergent onto the chewing gum whilst agitating the gum with a wire (on hard surfaces) or nylon (on soft surface or carpet) brush. This dissolves the chewing gum in about 3 to 6 seconds per piece.
After removing the chewing gum, where necessary we sweep the surface and then leave to dry naturally, this will leave a clean spot from where the gum as been removed and this will blend in within days, depending on the pedestrian flow and the weather.
Outside work is carried out using our fully equipped van, the equipment is run by our onboard generator that runs at less than 70 decibels at a distance of 3 metres.
