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.

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.

Professionalism
Had a great experience with this company on a softwash of our roof and nearly 100 year old stone and stucco house. Owner and technicians were all extremely courteous and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to ensure our plants didn’t get damaged, relocated some hanging baskets that I missed, and set everything back up again afterwards. House looks great. Our brick patio and concrete walkways look better than ever - we had them power washed in the past and this worked better.

SoftWash did a fantastic job getting our store awnings and façades clean and ready for the busy Spring and Summer months. They were incredibly easy to work with and get everything scheduled, communication was excellent, and the work speaks for itself.

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.

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

After our insurance company did a surprise exterior inspection they requested we have our roof cleaned of the moss/mildew. We hired SoftWash Platoon and they did a fantastic job!! Our roof looks new (our neighbor said they would eat their dinner off it because it looked so clean)! The team, especially Jose, was very polite and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Donna, who scheduled our appointment, was also wonderful to work with, ensuring that the job was completed prior to the deadline set by our insurance company. Though the pricing was a little more than what we wanted to spend, the work came with a 5 year warranty, so if the moss comes back we will certainly take them up on that and have our roof cleaned again. Excited to maximize our roof life and highly recommend this team and their services.
