Storefront gum and grime. Three ways to lose it.

ChewAway Power Washing is a small-commercial cleaning crew for storefronts and light-industrial sites in Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severn, and Odenton. Three methods to match the surface: steam + scrape for most gum jobs, freeze + scrape for delicate substrates, and hot/cold pressure washing for sidewalks and driveways.

The three methods

Different jobs suit different methods.

We run three methods that match the surface, not a one-size-fits-all rig. Steam + scrape is the workhorse for most gum jobs. Freeze + scrape is the premium option for delicate or sensitive substrates where heat or pressure could damage the surface. Pressure washing covers paved flatwork — sidewalks and driveways — with a hot or cold rinse.

01 · STEAM

Steam + scrape gum removal

The standard workhorse. Hot steam softens each gum blob, then a compact rig lifts it in one piece. No solvents, no chemical migration to the stormwater system, and a quiet rig that fits a storefront morning.

  • Concrete sidewalks, store entrances, parking aprons
  • Food-court edges, transit-platform pads, market squares
  • Any paved surface with high foot traffic and visible buildup

02 · FREEZE

Freeze + scrape gum removal

The premium option for delicate or sensitive substrates where heat or pressure could damage the surface. A cryogenic spray hardens each blob into a brittle pellet, then a compact rig lifts it off in one piece.

  • Pavers, tile grout, painted surfaces
  • Historic substrates and decorative concrete
  • Substrates flagged as sensitive on the on-site walk

03 · PW

Pressure washing

Hot or cold rinse matched to the paved surface — concrete, brick, tile, pavers, or asphalt. Right pressure, right temperature, right capture so the site stays open while we work.

  • Sidewalks, storefront walkways, shared entries
  • Driveways, parking aprons, paved flatwork
  • Catch-basin-friendly capture when runoff is a concern

Coverage area

Four Anne Arundel towns we already drive.

The route is short on purpose — it keeps response time under a day and the schedule honest. Neighbouring Anne Arundel towns are considered on request.

  • Glen Burnie

    Crain Hwy corridor, Marley Station, and the Ritchie Highway retail strip.

  • Pasadena

    Lake Shore area, Fort Smallwood, and the Mountain Road service roads.

  • Severn

    Severn crossing retail, Telegraph Road employment parks, and the BWI periphery.

  • Odenton

    Odenton Town Center, the MARC station trade area, and the small-bay light-industrial ring.

Who it’s for

Buyer archetypes we built the service around.

The short version: any small-commercial site where pavement, siding, or service bays are part of the visible brand — and the owner or operator is the one who has to defend costs.

GFR
Storefronts & small retail

We keep the entrance and apron free of buildup during the busy hours — quiet hours, no signage cordoned off.

EAT
Restaurants & quick-service

Driveways, paved flatwork, and the alley behind the kitchen. The rinse keeps the smell out of the litter complaints.

LAND
Property managers & landlords

A clean common-area ledger. Single quote covers sidewalk, paved entries, and the tenant storefronts.

CHU
Churches & community buildings

Parking aprons and the front walkway. Quiet enough to schedule around services and weekday programming.

OPS
Light-industrial bays

Paved flatwork pressure washing and storefront gum lifts — often behind a service window that can flex around the work.
