Gum Removal
Chewing Gum Removal. Even in Highly Pedestrianised Areas.
Chewing Gum Removal is a core business activity for HydroClean.
Our state-of-the-art, mobile, high-pressure, steam cleaners and experience enable us to remove both the gum and its residue from hard surfaces with the minimum of fuss, even in highly pedestrainised areas.
Pavement appeal is very important when presenting your business to the public. An unsightly & unhygienic build up of chewing gum in and around your business can have a damaging effect on your reputation and brand.
We regularly undertake contracts from commercial clients and local authorities.
