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.

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.

Quality, Professionalism
These guys are great, their service far exceeding my expectations and that doesn't happen very often. They were very professional and paid great attention to detail, the house looks amazing! I also feel like they used a lot less water than a typical power washing service which was very nice and the house is super clean again. Moreover, they use less pressure so the water didn't peel off any paint or impact the surface of our cement like other services would. Window sills were nice and clean too! Softwash Platoon is great and I would recommend them to anyone!

Debbie Lambert
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.
D Dunbar
We had SoftWash Platoon completely wash our roof, house and back patio where pool is. They provided outstanding service! The house looked amazing when finished and I don't think our windows, siding and roof have EVER been this clean! I will definitely hire them again. Donna in the office, Chris and the workers were exceptional at their jobs and very good with communication. Great Job!
Anne Symes
We had Softwash Platoon clean the entire exterior of our 1870’s white wood siding house that definitely needed cleaning. From the first meeting and estimate with Chris, to the scheduling with Donna and the cleaning by José and Herbert, we could not be more impressed. Communication was excellent and the work on the house was thorough and done with real care. Prior to starting, José explained the process and what we could expect. It was a scorching hot day and the guys worked hard and cleaned every surface thoroughly. After completing their work, they walked us around to show us what had been done. The outcome is a sparkling clean house and roof that has never looked better. We would definitely recommend this service. Thank you to the whole team. You exceeded our expectations. Anne
