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?

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.

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.

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.

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!
