One of our Walmart account has red dyed concrete. It was poorly sealed this past winter by someone else and had a milky white sealant. Problem for them is they have a lot of gum issues. I told them more frequency would help keep the gum from staining the concrete. This has been working well enough even though I had to remove the sealant. They pulled back on frequency for two months and the gum volume at their entrances is large and I am concerned that it is going to look rough even once cleaned. Other than frequency is there anythin I can do for this type of concrete. Sealing it isn't an option as gum is always having to be removed. I'll post a couple of pics soon. Anyone have the same challenge?
Red dyed concrete lots of gum...?

Clean entrances weekly should solve this. More gum means more store business so they can afford it

Hotter water will help to remove some of the shadowing but regular cleaning would be the best option. The shadowing will dissipate over time and when the concrete dries it is usually less prevalent. Sometimes coming back over the spots a second time will also help to remove the stains.
