Cleaning in -15 degrees

[Johan]

Hello.

I have just started my window cleaning business.

And I got a job to wash windows of -15 Celsius,

So I read that you can use windshield fluid , but it was not good. I had quite a lot in the bucket. Becuse it was freezing first. But still keep freezing.

How do you guys do? And how much do you use?

I saw someone had the windshield fluid it on a spray bottle and spray it on the mop, maybe thats a better idea.

Stay at home in the warm mate. Or, find other work. Plenty out there!

Hi Mark

The house was empty and the new owner was gonna move in the next day, so it has to be done.

I was struggle to it and the new owner has now moved in, never heard a complain. But i wasnt happy with the result, just wanna have some advise if im gonna do it again in -15. /emoticons/wink.png

Ok mate. That's fair. I don't know of anything to add to the water that would stop it freezing and not smear. Be interesting to see if there is anything tho.

GG4 From Titan Labs is also sometimes used in screen wash applications. However it would possibly still freeze at those temps.

Add plenty of isoproponoyl to your mix to prevent freezing. Wont smear either.

Yes , Stockholm is great. I live about 15 miles north of Stockholm. So if you used to live here, you know how cold it could be

Not at all.. I was 18 / 19. Too many beautiful young women to keep a lad warm at night in Sweeden. /emoticons/smile.png)

You can't do what you can't do.

More people from Sweden on this forum. Soon we can start a forum on our own. Välkommen!

I use "t-röd" in my water, I guess Johan know what it is. Don't know what it is called in English. Normally I stay home when the temperature is under - 10 degrees. If it's really cold you don't need to add much water to the spirit. Just use the solution as it is, it cleans pretty well!

Hej Mendy , tack så mycket!

Dont know what the english word is either, but heard lot of people use it.

i guess you r right, under -10 its better to stay out of it. But you know, i just tried to be service minded

I was going to say the same lol The old wifes tale is alcohol freezes at a different temp.but at £15 a bottle you want to add a splash not half a bottle lol

Vodka is also great to keep the body temperature up too /emoticons/wink.png
