If you are interested in washing year round. The first thing you need to do is be set up for hot water washing. I would then visit Armorkote.com go to the Facebook section and view the various fields of washing. I will be glad to help you answer any questions you might have from chemicals to equipment even how to. I feel that all equipment must be maximized in it use to be profitable this has been our policy for the past 15 years. I hope this is of some help to you.

Looking forward to see the info that comes from this post. I would love to extend my cleaning season here in NH, but I highly doubt it.

I am in Hudsonville Michigan and wash all year you need to set up with the equipment that will allow you to stay working. We wash sidewalks commercial buildings to name a few if it can be washed we will wash it. It is all in the equipment.

Hi Art,
If you have a hot water machine just open yourself to different jobs to wash. I find a great deal of work inside as well,like machinery injection mold machine shops, restaurant hoods to name a few I will say we do need to sometimes melt a path to the fan on a roof but then we work inside. I always salt after cleaning sidewalks. I do not wash residential homes this time of year for a number of reasons. I can't say it enough diversify in your wash and stay busy. If you specialize you limit yourself.

I love 37 degrees we wash fleet trucks on weekends and wash till 15 degrees depending on your machine you can add an external hot water boiler. I can guarantee that your chemicals will work better with hot water and your wash time will shorten.

Hi Dan,
I was wondering what type of equipment you are using, and what are you washing. I hope that then I will be able to give you some ideas.

Any washing I do this time of year is indoors. I have a couple of warehouses that I clean the floors in during the winter. As far as residential, I wait for it to get around 40 degrees for the siding. Gonna have to wait for the snow to melt off the roofs before doing any of those.

Winter up here has been tough for human and animal.. I wish it was nicer, I am getting calls every week to clean.
