Does anyone one know how to get chewing gum off of concrete? I will be pressure washing and have most tips but have not done gum before. Will the pressure washer remove it or is there a chemical that will do it?

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
I saw something on TV where they were using steam to take it off sidewalks - NYC I believe.

Didn't seem to be when I watched them do it.
IIRC it just seemed to pop right up.

an unintentional pun?
brownbagg and MrT, is that you in disguise?...not to want food the next season; secondly, in order not to discourage poor laboring people whom they brought over in numbers from Fatherland.

Yup, they use a steam gennie in NYC. They go door to door in front of shops, charge by the SQ.FT. IIRC.

Peanut butter?
For some reason I'm thinking peanut butter loosens up gum...
Must be the peanut oil or else it just attracts the ants to the gum which they devour also.

Peanut Butter -- That's an old remedy for gum in hair.
As for me, I can't figger out why anybody would be chewing gum off concrete! IMHO, it tastes a lot better right out of the pack.

Chewing gum off of concrete would be hard on your teeth. I would try to freeze it. We used to spray on freon when there was gum in the carpet. When frozen it is brittle and breaks into little pieces.
