Our normal Mix is not working so well lately.

[Chris Tharpe]

Our mix for flatwork is just not cutting it lately. The weather has been unusually cold around here this winter and were running into situations where our concrete cleaning mix is just not doing so well. Are we the only ones having problems with our chemicals not working as well as they do in warmer temperatures?

Alt least you have been working. I am jealous. The nightly low been round 25, and we havent been able to get any day work. But to answer your question, the cold usually make everything harder to clean dont it?

Chris I know you had a good day yesterday .. It was 54 degrees .. I was actually working in short sleeves. That is until the rain came... I was doing some interior floor cleaning and some outside cleaning around a dumpster area.. At a Restaurant on the REZ.. When I did the dumpster area I just mixed a good 2 cups of caustic to about 1.5 Gallons of water in a pump up sprayer ( Hot Water ) of course .. And then I ran my surface cleaner over the concrete and it worked fine.. Chris we have some warm days coming up , and let's face it the snow was great and we all can use a break sometime.. March will more than likely be a great month..
