Civic Center Livingston West Lothian Chewing Gum Removal Softwash Application.

Chewing Gum Removal from the granite slabs with steam and high pressure washing Civic Center  Livingston West Lothian.

 

The Granite entrance walkway has several hundred people walk over it daily. Some people leave there used Chewing Gum on the slabs. The granite slabs may look solid but they do have a porous surface which over time can be affected by the OIL in chewing gum. Yes oil, the used chewing gum will leave a shadow mark like a mini oil spill on a porous surface like the granite slabs at the Civic Center. Steam cleaning at 155 Deg removes the chewing gum by melting it. This  can be time consuming as each individual used chewing gum needs steamed of.

The longer Chewing gum is left on a light colour natural stone slabs the more chance they will leave there shadow oil marks. On commercial building with a high pedestrian traffic flow we recommend a Preventive Maintenance Plan which we tailor to suite the clients needs and budget’s over  3 months 6 months 9 months and once yearly plans.

 

We can also coat the area’s  with a Hydraclear coating this will aid in the preventive maintenance plan with washing as  the Hydraclear coatings are hydrophobic This stops the stone from being porous and allowing Chewing gum Coffee and lots more dropped or discarded materials from staining the surface. This hydraclear coating will not altar the look of the stone like some sealing products can and do leave on the surface area’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now at this point the slabs all around the Civic Center Livingston are Chewing gum free and cleaned of dirt algae and moss from between the grout lines Most exterior surface cleaning companies would be sending in the invoice wanting paid. We arent like the average exterior cleaning company We have a more specialists approach to the cleaning projects we take on. On this project it required 155 deg steam to remove the chewing gum from the granite and with the same machine set on low pressure high steam we cleaned the memorial stone. After it was steam cleaned and had dried up like the rest of the project we used our Softwash application low pressure pumping machinery to saturate the granite slabs with Algo Clear Pro.
