You will find on really cold days your brush head and jets will freeze up

I remember one morning putting my brush head onto a window, the first of the day, and hearing a 'clunk'.

It was just a solid block of ice!!!

Gosh did I laugh, as I unscrewed my ladders from my car!

Tried it, doesn't do what it says on the tin. Went back to using rock salt.

Anyone know how long windows take to dry in the winter.
Say around 4 or 5 degrees?

Depends on wind, humidity, dry or rain etc.

Average probably about 3 - 4 hours my experience.

we put a greenhouse heater on in the back of the van overnight and it works a treat cos all your hoses and poles are nice and warm when you start and the water doesnt freeze or even get cold!!
