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.

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!

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!

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.

We've worked with SoftWash for many years and they provide great service and high-quality cleaning. The team works incredibly hard, and we are always impressed with their thoroughness and the results. In fact, it drives us crazy when we see all of our neighbors' rooves and siding with the green and black discoloring that makes their homes look run-down... if only they knew how easy it was to get it cleaned! We're getting ready to list our home, and the courteous and professional SoftWash team spent six hours on our property yesterday cleaning the roof, stucco siding, windows, pathways, deck and detached shed. We're ready to go!

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.
