Chewing gum is a tasty treat for lots of people, but the incorrect disposal of it is so common that it can cause issues for plenty of businesses in Sale and local authorities. It can even be an annoyance for the general public - sitting on or standing in chewing gum can be really irritating!
Gum is such a problem that in many places in Sale, the incorrectly disposed chewing gum becomes just a part of the road. Grey and black splodges on the floor have become so commonplace that schools, local councils and businesses have to employ specific task forces and professional teams like us at NW Wash to tackle the chewing gum removal.
Chewing gum can ruin fabrics, shoes, furniture - and statistics estimate that between 80% and 90% of chewing gum consumed by the public in Sale isn't disposed of properly.

Chewing gum in public spaces in Sale like car parks and large pedestrian areas can cause issues for the general public. Gum sticks to shoes, clothes, and even skin and hair if children are crawling around on the surface.
It can also combine with other materials on the surface such as bird droppings, cigarette ash, and dirt. These then solidify in the chewing gum, making it even harder to remove.
If that isn't enough, gum can be harmful to the local ecosystem. If it gets into the drains it can cause issues in the pipework, and if animals step in it they can get stuck. Some animals also eat the dropped gum or find it stuck to their food. The chewing gum then gets stuck in their digestive tracts and causes illness.
This is why many local authorities remove chewing gum from their pavements and other surfaces on a regular basis.
Regardless of the situation, whether the gum is new or old, contact NW Wash today to get a free quote today.
