Not usually a problem on residential paving, chewing gum is the curse of downtown DDA's and shopping centers alike. There are proprietary gum-removing and gum-dissolving agents available from cleaning supply companies, although they tend to be quite expensive. Individual 'blobs' can be scraped off the pavement, but this usually leaves some of the gum behind. One successful way of removing gum completely is to use a freezing agent to solidify the gum completely, making scraping more effective. These freezing agents, available from cleaning supply companies, are usually in aerosol form and are sprayed directly onto the gum, allowing a few seconds to take effect before removal.

We exclusively use Techni-Seal products for applications on hardscape surfaces because Techni-Seal products are the only cleaning and sealing products recognized by major paver manufacturers and the quality of the raw materials used in their formulations are second to none.
