Chewing Gum is one of the stickiest, toughest things to get off any surface, including concrete driveways and other types of pavement. Pressure washers work wonder on these gluey globs, even if they’ve been stuck there for a while and trampled over. The trick is to use hot water while spraying the gum to melt it away. Using about 4000 psi and working back and forth in a fan pattern should lift it off fairly quickly. Pressure washing your sidewalk will not only remove gum but also the other stains that has built up in there. This however can be a time consuming job, so I suggest using a surface cleaner attachment from bestcargurus to speed up and even out your pressure washing job.
