Is A Day Like Today A Write-Off

Hi

Ive just been out to start cleaning and within 5 mins the pipes on the pole were frozen and ice was forming on the glass on the windows i had just cleaned.

Is there any remedy or is it just a no-no.

You can work upto a point with warm water. However using hot pure runs the risk of thermal shock that could crack the glass if not carefull. Ice will still form on windows as the water goes cold if the outside temp / glass is cold enough. Simples

Some say you can still work using warm water down to about -3 with properties that have the heating on so the outside pain of glass does not tend to ice up. However unheated properties inc unheated conservatories the glass will still start to ice up even using warm water.

The problem you also face using heated or none heated wfp in freezing temps is the residual surface water left on paths etc which can create a slip hazard as it turns to ice. The water doesn't evaporate like it does on sunny days so the water left on the ground will keep on freezing up too. Some water will soak into the substrate if porous enough but best to try and brush away any standing water as quickly as you can in winter months.

Hope this help?
