Freeze Warning!

Right now, the US is experiencing cold temperatures such as we have
not experienced in 20 years!

You can expect conditions that make
truck mount use messy for your customer, unpleasant for the operator,
and most importantly, creates the risk of severe equipment freeze
ups that can be very expensive for the cleaning company.

Cleaners are usually aware of the need to protect their equipment
during this season, but often overlook the damage that freezing
might do to their cleaning products.

While most products will work as well after freezing if they are
thawed out, there are a few categories that may be permanently
damaged if left out in the cold overnight.  These include:

    Carpet Protector
    Liquid Enzyme products
    Floor Finishes

Some of these products, especially protectors, are sold as
“freeze/thaw stable”, but most are not.  Leaving such products in an
unheated vehicle overnight when temperatures go below freezing risks
a loss of the product's performance.

Even though most other cleaning and spotting products do not lose
effectiveness when frozen, the fact that you'd start your day trying
to pour a frozen bottle of prespray (as an example) into a measuring
cup is not likely going to be pleasant or productive for you.

If you cannot store your vehicle in a heated garage overnight, remove
all of your cleaning agents and other treatments and bring them inside
for the night. It will protect those very important (and expensive)
protectors, deodorizers and floor finishes. It will also make the use
of all of your other products easier and less annoying while you cope
with the unavoidable annoyances cold weather brings to us all.
