How can you remove chewing gum that people seem to like to dispose of on our sidewalks. Everybody I talk to does not like to step in it, but they have admitted to doing the same (disposing of gum on sidewalks). What can be done short of banning gum sales? Muratic acid does not work (hence the saying do not swallow gum for it will stay in you tummy for six years), power washing removes the bulk of gum but there is still a stain and is time consuming to use! There must be a way to do it that is environment friendly and easy to use. All help will benefit all paths that we walk! Thanks Mark Wesson
