Power Washing Services — Tri-State Area
Professional hot water steam extraction for commercial gum removal from sidewalks, entrances, lobbies, and parking areas. The most effective method for complete gum removal without surface damage.
Overview
Chewing gum is one of the most common — and most stubborn — forms of sidewalk and entrance contamination facing commercial property owners. A single piece of gum tracked across a polished lobby floor or pressed into an entrance sidewalk creates an immediate negative impression. Multiply that by hundreds of daily visitors and the cumulative effect on your property's appearance is significant. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also identifies gum buildup on walking surfaces as a potential slip hazard in high-traffic commercial environments.
Nationwide Maintenance provides professional commercial gum removal services throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We use hot water steam extraction — the most effective and surface-safe method for commercial gum removal — which uses high-temperature steam to instantly release gum adhesion from concrete, pavers, stone, and tile without chemical damage or surface scarring. Combine gum removal with our sidewalk pressure washing and building exterior washing for a complete exterior appearance program.
We schedule gum removal for overnight, early morning, or weekend hours — eliminating any disruption to your customers or operations. Whether you need a comprehensive entrance deep clean or a recurring maintenance program to keep sidewalks perpetually clean, we customize our service to your property's traffic and soiling patterns.

Tri-State Coverage
Commercial gum removal across high-traffic storefronts, hotel entrances, transit-adjacent surfaces, and multi-site portfolios throughout the Tri-State area.
NYC commercial sidewalks face some of the highest gum accumulation rates anywhere in the world. The sheer density of pedestrian traffic in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens means high-traffic storefronts can accumulate hundreds of gum deposits per month. Many NYC retail clients require monthly programs.
Westchester County's upscale retail centers, transit stations, and dining districts face consistent gum accumulation on high-traffic sidewalks and entrances. Regular professional removal keeps entrance appearances at the standard these markets demand.
New Jersey's dense commercial corridors and transit hubs — from Hoboken to Trenton — face significant sidewalk gum accumulation in high-traffic areas. We serve all major NJ markets with commercial gum removal programs.
