-2 at work this morning in Scotland. My pole was even warming my hands up.  :D

Had mine 4 weeks and it’s the best thing I’ve done since powered reels.

Daz gets a hard time as people say he is trying to convince others that a diesel system is worth the buy.....I think equally there is quite a few on here trying to convince themselves otherwise.

Funny old world ae?  :)
I'm fortunate to live far south enough not to need it.
If I lived where temperatures fell to - temps on most nights throughout the winter and in to the following day then it seems like a worthwhile investment. There were probably only 3 or 4 days last winter where it stayed so consistently cold that I could not possibly have worked. Even with hot water I'd probably have chosen not to - I earn and save enough through not spending out on a hot water system to stay in the warm and put my feet up when I choose to. For all the other cold winter days, if I want a bit of added comfort, I stick a pair of gloves on. I don't need to convince myself otherwise. Daz has worked hard and built a round up over a long period of time. If he wants/needs that bit of luxury to do his job ( required or not ) then good for him, he's earnt it.

The weather was the same in the NW (I live in the area that Daz works). I don’t clean domestics when it’s colder than -2°C and I lost less than 3 days last winter, the same the winter before also.

If people want a Gas heater for comfort then so be it, but it certainly isn’t a necessity.

Once you’ve had hot water you’ll think it’s a necessity if you all of a sudden go cold.

Did you ever hear of gloves ? and for you guys its more about convining yourselves that its money well spent  than it is about convincing others, I can clean just as quick and to the same srandard as you with cold water and if I want supple hoses and a bit of frost protection  which lets be honest is the only real advantage then a £30 immersion will more than do.

That was with gloves! It was warming everything up nicely.  :)

I think the fumes from your diy shower bomb in the back of your van have gone to your head Sean. There is no way you can honestly think that freezing cold water cleans a window as quickly as hot?

Or do you have a round where every window is always crystal clean before you start?  :)

I have lots of large properties surrounded with trees, and this time of year the hot water is cutting through the grease, melting the leaves that have stuck to the frames, and dissolving the salt off the windows from busy roads way quicker than cold.

In just the four weeks I’ve had it, I’m noticing I’m
Getting through the work Quicker. No matter what is on the glass, two quick scrubs and a rinse, done. I used to do this with cold, but every second or third window would always need a bit of extra attention.  Not anymore.

Grease LOL, one scrub and a rinse on the glass is more than enough Jonny, not joking you could save yourself a small fortune if you knew what you where doing.

I suppose melting leaves is better than melting concrete lol, and yes after 6 weeks there is very little on the glass that requires a lot of effort to remove.

If you’ve never seen greasey tree sap on windows then I reckon you must leave some of your customers windows in some state.  ;D

Regularly I have properties where I would need a quick spray of virosol to clean things up faster. Other wise you get brush marks In the dirt. Now I get sparkly clean and steamy windows.  ;D

Brush marks in the dirt, what kind of dust bowl do you work in ?
To answer  your question, no I rarely get tree sap on any of the windows I clean but if its there and I'm missing it then as long as my customers dont complain I wont be rushing out anytime soon to waste £4k.

Ones who dont use hot water in this scenario will scoff (sean!)
But,,,,, if you have concrete splatter on windows from a first clean or new drive etc etc, hot water softens it nicely for it to be removed very easily.     
Im not on my own saying this either!

Believe me you are mate, check out some of the past  builders clean threads on here and you will see that nobody else is silly enough to suggest using hot water as a way to remove hardened concrete on glass.

Thats because most on here dont use Hot water and so its easier to say get the chemicals out instead.
😂😂 same for fascia cleans or conny roof cleans; get the ciff or tfr out etc etc etc, when truth be told, HOT water, not warm water will work very well and youbdont have to rinse forever getting all the suds off 😀

If I see concrete splatter on the windows or frames I ask the customer to tell the workmen responsible to have it removed. After the mess you made of the guys patio doors I suggest you do the same😂
