It was the coldest day of the year yesterday for me.
Minius 1 when started on the glass.
But still only had freezing on 1 house porch, the rest of the day no problems.
There's no point getting hot water. It freezes at 0 degrees just the same as cold does so if we are putting water on a house or the floor whether it's hot or cold and it's munus temps. It's going to freeze.
The difference with hot water is that it allows you to clean the glass, and the window stays warm enough so that it mostly dries.
It also rinses faster, so your left with a pretty dry window afterward. At most there will be a few droplets that freeze but I haven’t had that unless it’s -2/-3.
Winter has no effect on my business now, unless it’s snowing and driving conditions are dangerous.
It’s my preference that I can take days off when I want to, and not dictated to by the weather.
Jonny will let you try and work out why this post is complete nonsense, clue.... there's a reason why even on the hottest of days glass is still cold to the touch.
Silly games Sean/Dryclean/richard.
You go by “head knowledge” I go by experience.
My hot water never freezes on the glass, even on conservatories like ice cubes. At most, I’ll
Get a few frozen droplets at the bottom.
Triple glazed Glass is well insulated,
Single pane glass loses heat through the house,
Glass in the shade is much colder,
On all of the above, I clean no matter what the conditions. The hot water raises the temperature of the glass, so that you clean it, and then it’s got time to slowly cool down after you’ve left which stops it instantly freezing.
