Why use Vapor on Chewing Gum?
We've all seen them: blackened, flattened gobs of chewing gum on sidewalks and parking lots, dotting your path with the offer of sticky, messy goo that will ride your shoes into your place of business, then right on home to your expensive and clean floor. How thoughtful of someone to spit out their gum! The disgusting mess isn't even the worst of the problem; did you ever consider what sort of oral bacteria and even disease might have been chewed into that gum? Yuck!
Scraping doesn't work very well because there is always a thin coating of gum left stuck to the surface of the sidewalk. That coating will blacken, leaving an ugly spot and plenty of bacteria. So business owners go to the next best thing; they call a pressure washing business to blast the gum away with high pressure water. Does it work? Well, yes, sort of. If the technician is careful, he or she will take the time on each gob to scour it away. However, as he does, each gob is scattered over a wide area and the bacteria it contains are lofted into the breathing column as a wet mist! You are literally breathing someone else's spit! Even if the technician rinses the debris away, it has only been transferred into your parking lot gutters and into your lungs. Think about it; does this sound healthy?
High temperature steam, or “vapor,” is the answer. Our equipment generates vapor at temperatures of up to 380 degrees Fahrenheit, far above the ability of home-type units and way beyond the level necessary to utterly dissolve and disinfect chewing gum. Not only do we prevent the spread of bacteria; our equipment actually vacuums the residue up. Because we use HEPA technology, not one speck escapes into the breathing column! This means the unsightly gobs are gone, you don't keep the residue around, you don't step on little bits, and very importantly, you are no longer exposed to the hazards of a stranger's bad habit. Doesn't that sound far, far better?
