    Take kerosene in a pump sprayer leave for ten minutes and with one swipe up they come, if you get a dry wall knife tape it to a stick this will be fast work, Learnt this years ago in my pressure washing business. If you don't have access to kerosene you can use naptha, just pressure wash when done to remove any residue of solvent

    To all that wonders how.... 2 inch brass cylinder brush, using a high heat pressure washer, with a non chemical solution. It will make gum evaporat in seconds. The black spots and common streaks. That look like oil stains will be gone.

    So sad what gum does. When I was a kid just spit it out, never thought about it. Wish chewing gum was never invented.

      There’s a reason why you can’t just eat gum. Probably should’ve at least spit in the trash can or back in the wrapper

      Swallowing gum clogs animals digestive systems.

    Wire brush and maybe some heavy duty bleach? I know Singapore has some tight legislation and fines to prevent stuff like this.

    What I have been using in NYC subway is hot water pressure washers and then to get rid of the stain use restoration cleaner and a black pad on buffer/stripper machine works like magic

    3500+ pressure with hot water. Cheapest to call a professional than invest in equipment yourself.

    People spit out gum on the cement
    When there is a trash can present it's
    a deliberate act of disrespect meant
    They went that gum a message sent
    I lament that gum has DNA content

    Call a local pressure cleaning professional that uses hot water and if he can't get it off call someone that knows how to use hot water.

      Crush up some sage blessed by an old mountain woman. Mix 2 tbs sage with 2 cups of goat urine and 1 tbs spit from a blind fellow. Now pour that in a container and soak an all beef hot dog in it overnight during a full moon. Freeze the hotdog.
      Now anytime the gum scares get to you take out the hotdog, thaw to room temp, insert in your anal cavity and pirouette three times. You can now remove it, refreeze, and go outside without any cares.

    You could just overlay those areas with a thin layer of concrete it won't cost you much just a couple of bags of concrete mortar and mix it up with a bottle of concrete glue and water in a wheel barrow smooth it out on the surface and leave it to dry .
