After having my tank etc wrapped up inside the van all night, i went out to check it this morning, everything was still ok even though it was -4 outside, then went to check to see if the pure was working, no it was frozen on the outside so i went to get the hair dryer, 5 mins and it worked.  Got to my first house and everything still working fine on the top 3 windows, then when i took pole down to do the bottoms it had frozen up inside the pole, still -2 at this stage so i went across to a neighbours house who was in and asked for a kettle of hot water, got it no probs and even have him as a new custie next month when im round again so poured it up the inside of the pole and it unclogged it eventually, then just done the remainder of the day with it up full blast and worked faster than normal, then got to my 2nd last house and as its kinda new the manhole covers are only sitting there so stepped up to clean the window and bang my right leg went down the hole, sore as feck now.  So i battered on but could only manage to do one more house as my leg was killing me and my fingers were forzen.  Oh it was a mental day but i liked being out all the same.

Are you saying your RO was frozen?

[R W C™]

Didnt have any of the problems you had as my house is nice and warm and van is on drive as there is no way im mad enough to go cleaning windows in this  

[gary999]

cleaned a flat and one and half houses then gave up
with the constant freezing of my equipment

[JRDEasiReach]

No my outlet pipe for my pure, its outside the van through a hole in the floor of it, thats the bit that was frozen to start with, then it was the thin piping up the inside of my pole that froze up.

why is it people moan when they cant get out cause it rain,moan when it cold moan when its hot,do they every do any work.

I did a conservatory for my first clean this morning - a mistake - and all the water just froze on the conservatory; it looked like frosted glass by the time I finished.

It almost froze as soon as the water touched the glass, so I couldn't really scrub.

I explained to the customer to phone me if it didn't dry perfect!   I then went and traditionally cleaned a couple of bungalows, then went back to WFP and didn't have any further problems, but I think it was pretty much 'knife edge' as to whether things would freeze up again.

I've had a good day though.

You dont see me moaning im glad im off

It was basically my own fault that mine froze i think as i should have put it up full suck on the varistream when i started so that it wouldnt have time to freeze up, have learned for again though, once i got it unclogged it was fine the rest of the time.  Just takes one wee bit to mess your day up, i now have to go and do 1 job tomorrow that i should have got done today, oh well

Why didn't you put a fan heater in the car?

[Milltown Cleaning]

happened me today too. Couldnt believe it, my pole hose was solid, a layer of ice on top of my water in trolley. took me several hours to defrost.

So i hope this sorts it!!

oil filled radiator, some polystyrene under the tank and several sheets over that and my microbore!!

[Mike #1]

froze up on a couple of porches today so i left last 3 houses with big porches and connys it was -3 all day still made a good wage and tips

[pingu]

Freeze...oooooooooo misses I should say so....I have just been outside and it's -13.2 here in Holland...and I thought I would play a little catch-up today

[ronnie paton]

-6 in manchester o sent lads out after a brew and there going to do some trad, when its this cold it doesnt matter about having a heater in the back has it will still freeze when the hoses lie on the floor and the flow stops.

so i have to do trad jobs till about 11.

[pingu]

Tried  a little trad and wfp....too funny for words.... instant freeze the water goes a creamy colour!!

[Murdie window cleaning]

Milltown, is that a role of paper above your heater ? Surely a fire risk mate, we all want to still be able to work but if your van goes on fire it will be impossible.

[Milltown Cleaning]

yes it is a role of paper...but its an radiator set on its lowest setting, i think u could put a jar of petrol on top and it wouldnt be a problem.

[R W C™]

Its not on the lowest setting as both the lights are on 

[Milltown Cleaning]

haha good call!! i had it on high to start just to get the air warm!!

WENT OUT TODAY
wfp stated ok within 5 minutes  water in hose had frozen up, change to tradinational method water frezzing on windows ,
called it a day , with the amount of snow which is frozen on window sils and the aggro of eqpt frezzing up is it worth the bother of turning out
