Chewing gum removal in high traffic areas can be a challenge. Sticky gum easily transfers to clothing, hair, walls, and furniture. After drying, chewing gum becomes even more difficult to remove. Due to its stickiness, dust, grime, and germs tend to stick to freshly discarded chewing gum, which then hardens into a blackened, unsightly mass. For removing chewing gum, it is recommended to use powerful steam cleaning machines that are affordable, easy to maintain and productive.

Chewing gum removal machines should be bought only from trustworthy, honest dealers. This offers various advantages to buyers.

Quality

The gum removal machine should be top-quality and sold with appropriate warranties. Top suppliers offer a lifetime warranty on the steam cleaner's boiler. Machines without sufficient power or durability are not ideal for heavy commercial applications, as they will break down and can cost large sums of money to fix.

Chewing gum cleaning machines should have strong, durable boilers because they are expected to operate for hours under high pressure and temperature. Find dealers who offer chewing gum removal equipment with stainless steel boilers as opposed to a less durable aluminum boiler.

Similarly, heating elements and other parts should be made of stainless steel, which tolerates heat and corrosive chemicals better than other metals. Removable heating elements help reduce the cost of replacing an entire boiler, should it ever need to be fixed.

Features

The dealer should offer gum cleaning machines that have features designed to increase productivity. Some chewing gum removal machines are so productive that they can remove 1000's of pieces of chewing gum per day. The machine should have high steam temperature. Some steam cleaners for gum removal feature temperatures as high as 369°F. Another important feature is nonstop operation, which is possible only if the boiler maintains a steady pressure level and temperature. To do this, the machine should be capable of boiler refill capacity through a non-pressurized refill chamber.

To boost productivity, particularly for sidewalk gum cleaning, purchase machines that offer vacuum extraction in addition to steam cleaning. This allows the user to suction off excess moisture after cleaning, leaving the surface almost completely dry. Many dealers offer machines equipped with genuine HEPA filters, which can remove the tiniest pollen, dander, and dirt particles. Some machines may also have additional bacteria killing technology, which removes more than 99 percent of germs from the surface.

Customer Service

When selecting a dealer for gum removers, look at the type of customer service they offer. Apart from warranties and affordability, machines should be suitable for your requirements. Selecting the right equipment can be difficult, especially for sidewalk gum removal, which is why there should be good customer support and resources available to help first-time buyers select the right machine. After the sale, technical support should also be available to customers. Usually, reputable dealers list the names of some of their major customers, which enable the prospective buyer to judge the reliability of the dealer. The dealer's website should offer detailed information about the products and the choice to contact customer service via phone or through email.

The feasibility of your business depends on the type of equipment you purchase. Don't ruin your business reputation and health by investing in cheap, low grade equipment sold by shady suppliers. If required, establish a relationship with a reputable supplier to maintain an unbroken supply of cleaning equipment and accessories for your chewing gum removal business.
