Most people in the cleaning business dread the chewing gum removal process. Public pools particularly, tend to attract large numbers of gum stuck to surfaces such as sidewalks, concrete surfaces around the pool, fences, benches, parking lots, and floors. This is because of the numerous people that visit pools and generally dispose of their gum improperly before entering the pool.
Whether in hotels or community centers, any visitor who finds pieces of gum stuck to surfaces around their pool will naturally be annoyed. As such, finding the most efficient chewing gum removal equipment on the market that removes even the most resilient and tough gum wads is critical to your business. Simultaneously, your gum removal machine also needs to be economical, in order to reduce work time and increase returns.
Use this guide to gauge whether the machine you are considering is up to the task.
Most chewing gum removal equipment is essentially a steam cleaner. The hot, high temperature vapor is critical for removing sticky gum. Powerful units have high temperature and pressure levels reaching as high as 329°F and 120 psi. However, water usage is also important. Minimal consumption means a more eco-friendly machine, as well as fewer labor hours through reduced waiting time for refills.
Additionally, superior chewing gum removal units offer detachable heating elements and heavy-duty stainless steel brushes. Removable heating elements achieve lower maintenance costs since you do not have to replace the entire boiler in the event of damage or failure.
Suppliers that offer discounted chewing gum removing brushes are ideal, since the stainless steel brushes are a key part of the gum removal process and will need to be replaced frequently.
A high quality, concentrated gum dissolving solution also essential. This solution aids in the breaking down of heavy gum deposits and is injected into the detergent chamber of the chewing gum cleaning machine. An additional key component is an attached vacuum. After all, a gum removing machine would not be complete without the ability to extract softened gum wads completely.
