Gum Removal
Erase Unsightly Sidewalk Stains
Professional Gum Removal Services in Southeastern PA
If you manage a storefront, school campus, or commercial sidewalk, chances are you’ve noticed the black, sticky blemishes of old chewing gum stuck to your concrete. These spots don’t just hurt curb appeal—they make your property feel neglected. And as more gum gets tracked in and baked by the sun, removing it becomes even more difficult.
At Softwash Platoon, we provide fast, effective gum removal services for commercial and institutional properties throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania. Since 2013, our team has helped business owners, property managers, and municipalities restore their sidewalks, entryways, and public gathering areas to a clean, professional standard.
We use advanced soft washing technology and specialty equipment that safely dissolves gum from concrete, pavers, brick, and other porous surfaces—without damaging the material or harming landscaping. Whether you’re cleaning up a retail walkway in Ardmore or maintaining a public plaza in Bryn Mawr, we deliver spotless results with minimal disruption to your operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you remove gum from concrete?
We use a low-pressure soft wash system with heat and biodegradable agents that loosen and dissolve gum without harming the surface.
Will gum stains return after cleaning?
Only if new gum is deposited. We recommend routine cleaning for high-traffic areas to keep your property looking fresh.
Can you remove gum from brick or pavers?
Yes. We carefully treat porous materials like brick, pavers, and stone to lift gum without dislodging or discoloring them.
Is gum removal safe near landscaping or store entrances?
Absolutely. Our methods are environmentally safe and won’t harm plants or interrupt foot traffic—we work around your hours if needed.

Softwash crew did an outstanding job at our house! Seriously good work, both in the front door area (floor tiles, ceiling, walls), as well as our upper and lower patios in the back of house. The patios were large areas and badly stained with dirt and algae. All areas are now gleaming! We highly recommend this company. Their wonderful work made a significant difference.

Our white Awnings are now WHITE again thanks to the miracle of Platoon Soft Wash. The workers were courteous & eager to please. They did a wonderful job making our home sparkle for summer. I will use them again, although having had this biodegradable solution 3 years ago( another company) we know it DOES last.

I was very happy with the service from Softwash Platoon. Chris took a nice amount of time to create a thorough estimate. The crew, led by Andrew, was very detail oriented, friendly, and kept me updated on their progress. My house, walkways, and patio all looked great! I will hire them again in the future!
Pat Dalesio
SoftWash has refreshed our exterior completely. We should have done this sooner! The staff were very pleasant to deal with. Kevin kept me informed along the process. Before the final treatment he walked around the house completely and noted what the final treatment should accomplish. At the end of the day, he walked around the house exterior to be sure I was satisfied with the end results. It looks awesome!

I am very pleased with the work, power washing the outside of the house including the wood fence. The crew paid great attention to detail, taking extra time for the gutters that didn't come clean with only spraying. So they got a good scrubbing too. Thanks, crew, also for cleaning everything up when you were done.
