Hi Marcus, I guess thats the only way to do it, but thats alot of moping up which adds time. do you do this all on your own.

I find i don't make that much mess to be honest but this week i've been carrying a bucket of rocksalt in the van and a light sprinkling over the most vulnerable areas does the trick.

I dont bother looking i "know" its clean.  8)

Custies are more likely to be bothered about the ones they can see, when they leave and enter the front door.

Cheapest way is to get the customer  to check the sills after she/he moppped the excess water up. One of my customers told me she just gets  the hairdrier out for the really really wet bits :o :o :o

I place buckets under each window to catch the drips then pour the excess water back into the tank. (Just to keep the environmentalist happy) ;D

what a good idea, you could put submersible pumps in them and hose to take it back to the tank automatically, that would save loads of time :)

better still ,connect the pump to the pole , and you  have a very efficient trolley system that never needs re filling

You don't really use vast amounts of water that you are leaving puddles.
But yes the ground does get wet and most of it will have soaked away before any frost got to it.
I don't use WFP on doors always do them traditional.

I have not had any problems yet and i think i have been WFP about 4 years.
