I will be putting salt down if I find it a problem, Squeaky, why do you knock peoples reply's they may be trying to help you, If I put salt down my customers would be happy I care for there well being. if my customer ask about this and I am sure they will I will say I would put a little salt down if needbe, if they are me not to then I will not do it.

They didn't have salt poured on their house before I changed them to wfp, so that's going to really make their minds up isn't it?

It's a house, not a plate of cod and chips.
Very unprofessional looking.

they didnt have water until  we changed to wfp...

salt is the answer as it does not take much to get rid of ice then it washes away with the melted ice... and its rare to be honest.... and only first thing in the morning we get frost.

what salt do you use ?

[stevekennedy]

I have worked out the solution...

You want to hope they don't slip on the gravelly salt then.
I have in the past, it's pretty skiddy.

As long as you dont throw bucket loads of the stuff down it is not dangerous to walk on.  If it was why would the council use it?   :

At the end of the day how often do you flood an area to make it that icy?  A couple of patches here and there.

I think that is sensible advice and something I am sure H&S would concur with.

[Davo]

Use calcium chloride, its available in either granule or liquid form. And is much more efficient at melting ice and preventing ice than sodium chloride (salt)

And you could charge customers to apply it too. Or you could do it for free to cover yourself incase someone slipped on the ice you created.

standard table salt worked a treat yesterday for us 

[M & C Window Cleaning]

I used table salt in my garden last year. Worked well, disolved leaving no visible residue and killed the weeds at the same time.

Was thinking though, surely if it was cold enough to freeze water on the floor right outside a house during the day, the brush bristles would freeze up too, no?

[JM123]

I use road salt, can't remember what the name is and don't know how much it costs (apparently its like £400 - no seriously really expensive stuff)

a small handfull will cover about 400sqft

I'll get the name of it tonight.
