Vapour Removal UK
At Vapour Removal UK we provide an ecological cleaning solution to a worldwide problem…Chewing Gum!!!!
Discarded chewing gum has been a serious issue for organisations in both the public and private sectors for many decades and the problem seems to be getting worse. Increased levels of damaged clothing and family pets consuming discarded chewing gum are leading to ever-increasing numbers of legal claims.
A customer’s perception can have an adverse impact when faced with what seems like a lack of care for how entrances to premises/businesses are presented; first impressions last.
Chewing gum will eventually stick firmly to the surface it lands on, usually walkways, stairs, escalators, pavements and areas where people gather. Deposits gradually accumulate compromising the quality of public space in the same way as other litter.
Chewing gum removal has been a problem for most major city councils and local businesses who want to be seen as providing clean and safe environments for its residents and customers.
Other methods of chewing gum removal have caused various health and safety issues due to the fact that our competitors use high-pressure washers that require gallons of water and also damaging chemicals that have a negative impact on our environment.

The unit is attached to an ergonomic lance designed specifically to ensure fast, reliable and easy operation with maximum chewing gum removal. There is a clever pump that injects 16ml per minute of the solution into the lance which is the exact amount required to provide a constant source of vaporised solution. At the point of contact, our specially designed brush emits a PH Neutral and Safe steam mixture to vaporise the chewing gum.
