Removing gum from a concrete outdoor table can be frustrating, but with the right techniques, it’s manageable. Here are some effective methods:

1. Freeze and Scrape: Use an ice pack or freeze spray to harden the gum. Once brittle, gently scrape it off with a plastic scraper or old credit card to avoid damaging the concrete.

2. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts vinegar and baking soda to create a paste. Apply it to the gum, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse with water.

3. Peanut Butter or Oil: Apply a small amount of peanut butter or vegetable oil to the gum. Let it sit for 10 minutes to break down the sticky residue, then wipe away with a cloth.

4. Commercial Adhesive Removers: Use a product like Goo Gone or WD-40. Spray it on the gum, wait a few minutes, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.

5. Hot Water and Soap: Pour boiling water over the gum to soften it, then scrub with dish soap and a brush. Repeat if necessary.

For stubborn stains, a pressure washer on a low setting can help. Always test cleaning solutions on a small area first to avoid discoloration. With patience, your concrete table will be gum-free!
