If you have got greasy surfaces such as machinery or workshop floors then hot water blasting is just the ticket. It also powers through oil stains and the chewing gum you see splattered all over sidewalks and the ground of other public places.
Cold water blasting is not going to cut the mustard on these jobs and it can end up damaging and etching the concrete.
Hot water makes an impressive difference and saves time and money. It offers some distinct advantages when you have a job where you really need some grunt.
The process raises the temperature of the water to as much as 90 degrees C to cut through and remove chewing gum, grease, oils, cooking fats and other oily products by breaking them down. The results are much more impressive than cold water blasting.
Hot water blasting is a specialised type of pressure washing used when heat is needed to break down grease, oil and chewing gum.
Other benefits are that surfaces are left sanitised, they dry faster and no chemical is used.
Chewing Gum removal
Unfortunately, most public out side areas are littered with chewing gum. Water blasting alone will not remove chewing gum unless extreme pressure was used which can damage and etch the concrete. Once the concrete is etched it’s usually unrepairable.
Our hot water blaster heats the gum to soften it so we can then remove it. It doesn’t harm any surfaces and is completely safe.

Yes. We soften and lift gum using heated water and specialised gum removal tools. This avoids gouging or damaging the concrete surface, unlike some aggressive cold blasting methods.
No. Hot water alone does the heavy lifting. This means no chemical run off, no residue, and no harm to nearby vegetation. It's also ideal for sensitive environments where chemical use is restricted.
Traditional water blasting relies solely on pressure. Hot water blasting combines pressure with heat, which allows us to break down tough contaminants faster and more safely — especially on greasy or oily surfaces. It’s also gentler on some materials when used correctly.
Hot water blasting uses water heated up to 100°C, which is highly effective for removing grease, oil, chewing gum, food waste, and stubborn grime — especially in commercial, industrial, or food prep areas. It sanitises as it cleans, all without harsh chemicals.
