Cold mornings and Hot WFP

I have gained several new customers this week because people can see the steam coming off my brush!!!!

Several people have commented how good hot wfp looks, and how well it cleans!!!

This has been from people in the street not the customers I already have. What a surprise, just goes to show how much people notice when your working.

[Nathanael Jones]

I had a similar comment when I was cleaning some local shops,... the heat was down low but for some reason the steam was really visible that day. I nearly took a photo it looked so good!

[ALAN HAYNES]

was a bit worried about cracking glass how hot do you run yours this time off year

Don't want to change subject but can you heat water in the morning ,and how long will it stay hot for.

Kevin we have broke some windows in the years gone back but at only 20 ish degs
so all im saying is watch it !!! they will break double glazing break just as easily as old
stuff : : :

I cleaned the outside of a house this summer.

It was a hot day. Anyway got a call later saying that I had cracked a d/glazed window.

Went to check and found the crack on the inside.

When the window was repaired the glaizier told the owner that the cold water could have caused the prob as the inside window was at a much higher temp. when the cold water hit the window it caused undue tension.

You broke some panes with the water at 20ish degree? Or the outside temperature?

if the brush is kept in the same place on the glass with the hot water flowing the glass gets hot rapidly. however if the brush is kept in motion the glass doesn't seem to get that warm as the glass cools the water more than the water heats the glass. So this could be the key to prevent glass cracking.

[ALAN HAYNES]

I haven't broken any glass yet, and Im going to keep it set at max till I do. Im gonna keep my brush moving and not let it rest in one place which should help minimise cracking. I have a National trust contract which I will be using cold for though just to be on the safe side LOL

when you say you have yours set on max how hot is that

i have the L5 heater and friday and set heat to high and the micro bore with 30 foot of hose of the reel was to hot to hold had to use a glove to wind in

16 to 20 degs water not temp outside

[Clive McDonald]

Listen to Vedd. The main cause (I have found ) is temp difference leading to thermal shock. So on a cold frosty morning be wary.
Be wary of of opaque glass.
Be wary of single glazing
Be more wary in the winter than the summer.
Be more wary in the morning
If you hear any kind of creaking pull away.

[The Seven Bays Window Cleaning Company]

So whats the optimum temp for winter, and summer?


I'm going out for the first time next week with hot water.

Its going to be chilly ( so the weather chaps say), what temp should I be aiming at?

I was thinking about 25 c
