Most hotel and restaurant owners prefer to buy the best steam cleaning equipment to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of their establishments. These machines can be used to clean hard surfaces, such as floors and counter tops, and to spot clean carpets. However, one deposit that has always been a problem, particularly on outdoor surfaces, is chewing gum.
Newer technologies found in quality floor steam cleaners and hard surface steam cleaner machines now include a number of different features, such as anti-bacterial capabilities and gum cleaning technologies. These different technologies help establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals maintain a clean workspace, devoid of deterring chewing gum wads.
However, one must follow certain good practices to make sure that the machine and the surface remain safe.
High Temperature
Gum cleaning requires the use of a special technology that incorporates high heat and a specialized gum removing solution to dissolve the hardened gum deposit. These chewing gum removal machines provide an output temperature of up to 329°F, suitable for cleaning gum off sidewalks, walls, concrete, and other surfaces. Soft surfaces such as cloths and paper cannot withstand this temperature.
Attached Vacuum
Without an attached vacuum, the user must manually remove the chewing gum residue from the surface. This will take extra time and require the operator to carry around another machine. Modern steam cleaners come equipped with an attached vacuum, suitable for easily removing the chewing gum residue simultaneously while dissolving and cleaning.
To loosen the most stubborn gum deposits, a threaded stainless steel brush that screws onto the gum tool is suggested.
So, when selecting steam vacuum cleaners for chewing gum removal applications, remember to look for the following attributes: high steam temperatures, simultaneous extraction, threaded stainless steel tools, and specialized gum dissolving solution.
