Are you using proper grit, normal salt or nothing after WFP?

What is the cheapest option and does it work ok?

[dazmond]

tubs of salt ive been using from the local co op.easy to carry one about with me when im working .i just sprinkle the doorways/pathways that i get wet.normally its the ones with a window directly above a doorway that i salt.

personally i think normal salt is better as theres not much to tread into the house like grit!!just looks like ant powder though when you put it down!!

I'm using grit, but i always check with residential's that they want me to put it down, not everyone is a fan.

I find sourcing it from our local grit boxes is very economical

Think i am going to get some normal salt see how it goes

[wightsurf]

I get salt from cash and carry , i tell the custys i have put it down .
Not had one moan yet  :

[gavin pedley]

Absoloutely nothing - WFP - why bother it doesnt make any difference.

[gavin pedley]

lol ye :

I think people are worrying too much and wasting time and money throwing down salt and grit. By doing this you are more likely to draw attention to yourself if someone does slip over on there own property.

You could never be done anyway. With all the snow and ice on the ground how could it ever be proved that 'it was your ice' what a load of PC nonsense if you ask me.

[gavin pedley]

Maybe but when in town center doing shops I would say it is important.

[Matthew JN]

if you are doing shops and the snow is not a wagtail on ext better than WFP  ?? Can see your point there if you are using WFP.

[Nathanael Jones]

Dishwasher salt from Lidl,.. cheap as chips & very effective.

[gavin pedley]

That's one I didn't think about

[SPE]

to wfp shops is just plain lazy, ha call yerself window cleaners! :

[gavin pedley]

The shops I do are not just two little pains each side of door so wfp is easier, why make work for your self?

[Matthew JN]

If you put a wagtail whirlwind 14" or 18" on extension pole with angle adaptor - you can wash / wipe at the same time without flipping.  Has to be as quick as WFP

[gavin pedley]

Probably but hey, I have always wfp them so why change now.  :
