This is my first winter window cleaning. I was wondering if its possible to work in ice or snow. I have grit ready to use where needed. Or is it best to stay at home?

[darren clarke]

i my self would stay at home, as better too lose a few days wage rether then get sued becasue some old lady slips

[Crystal-clear]

Stay at home its not worth it iced roads is to dangerous personally i wont work in those conditions and on days that are below 0 i wouldnt work too once it creeps up to 1 or 2 thats fine thou.

I do work in some ice and snow but I have found it dangerous to get to the work with a weighted vech alot of the time.

Screen wash , van heater, work when ground temp is above
Freezing, you'll be ok. I go out as much as poss just to keep
The money ticking over. I have a Landrover so end up towing
People up hills and out of ditches;-)
Happy days
Ps don't want to put a damper on it but we are expecting it
To be cold on and off until march so get used to working in it
But be safe. Get out every opportunity , last year people took
A week of between Xmas and new year , because it snowed
Before Xmas and after new year , some people didn't work for
4/5 weeks

I did work when there was snow and ice on the floor last year but I couldn't get out from 2nd - 10th January.  The air temperature was below zero all day during those days and I didn't see the point of trying to squirt water onto glass for it to freeze a few seconds later.  As soon as it drifted even a little above zero, I was back out there though.  I ran my hose around piles of snow and had a liberal quantity of rock salt with me for the vulnerable areas.  For the very vulnerable areas, I tradded the ground floor to reduce the amount of water lying around.  It was slow and painstaking but I still managed to get to three figures in a day - quite an achievement considering what I was up against.  Also, I had to select my work carefully and avoid hilly areas in some cases.

never used screenwash. what quantity do you put in the bucket?

Last year during the two prolonged dumpings of snow we had here with temps below freezing, for commercial work (shops, etc,), I used the cheapest screen wash diluted one part screenwash to two parts water. It worked fine under the circumstances and got the muck/dirt off but I don't rate it as a decent window cleaner though as it has detergent in it but I was at least still keeping the pennies coming in.
