Softwash Platoon
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.

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.
Matthew Shaw
We had a fantastic experience with SoftWash Platoon. We hired them to do a gutter and below house cleaning and from the time we agreed, they were at our house and completing the work that same week. Our crew, led by Jose, was extremely professional and took great care of our property. The results were phenomenal, and I still can't get over how clean our sidewalk got. We'd highly recommend SoftWash Platoon for your exterior house cleaning needs.

Softwash Platoon did an amazing job working hard to make our 31 year old stucco house look new again. The guys working here went above and beyond to make sure everything looked so good and clean. They were friendly, hardworking, professional and respectful. We are so pleased and happy that we decided to do this and that we picked this company. Everyone from the salesperson, to the person in the office, to the guys who did the job went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with the job done. We highly recommend this company.

What a difference the stucco on my home is after having Softwash Platoon work their magic. It was a professional job from start to finish, and the employees were courteous and knowledgeable. The black streaks are gone on the stucco and my roof looks spotless. Dealing with Donna and Chris was easy and helpful. And the guys on-site were awesome. Well done, y’all.

I recently had a whole-house and roof clean by Softwash Platoon. They did a great job and my house looks great. The crew was diligent and respectful. Highly recommend if you need exterior or roof cleaned.
Amy Binder
Only good things to say about the SoftWash Platoon team. Starting with the first call, everyone was responsive, professional, and true to their word. The cleaning team was top notch, and the exterior of our house has never looked better -- roof, siding, windows, window frames, gutters, eaves, shutters, patio, and patio furniture. I removed all the window screens, and they got a good washing, too. We've been in this house 24 years, and this was our first professional washing. We're done climbing ladders, and even when we did, the house never looked this good.
