We offer a variety of industry-leading winter grounds maintenance and snow removal in Mississauga services. Because Essential Landscaping has over 20 years experience, we excel at keeping commercial properties safe and attractive year-round.
Over the years, we’ve been able to adapt some surprising tricks to help our winter operations run smoothly. Here’s a few things we’ve learned to help you in your day-to-day struggle with Old Man Winter.
From the Table to The Windshield
Most of us know table salt is good on certain foods in moderation. However, not everyone knows you can use it to keep a hard frost from forming on your windshield. Here’s how you can use this trick sparingly. Put some table salt in a sock, rub it on the surface of the car window and leave it overnight. There’s a note of caution here. Applying this technique too often can actually cause some damage. If you plan on de-icing your windshield over the long-term, it’s best to look for ice removal products.
Our snow removal in Mississauga services specialize in snow plowing and snow clearing solutions for your business. Winter safety is a priority and the equipment we use allows us to designate specific parking areas to pile snow. Sometimes, a back corner of the lot is the best bet.
A Fix from Your Medicine Cabinet
Rubbing alcohol is a useful product when you’re looking to defrost car windows. The process is easy. Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and water. Spritz this solution onto the sheet of glass and dry with a towel. There is an added bonus to using this handmade defrosting mixture. You’ll get a streak-free, shiny window that won’t fog up.
Use a Tarp
A plastic tarp or paint drop cloth can be used to speed up your snow removal in Mississauga efforts at home. When snow is forecast, you can protect your walkways, porch and car with one of these coverings. Before you leave your house in the morning, you just need to drag the sheet off to the side.
Finally, it’s a good idea to keep that leaf blower handy even during the winter months. For a light snowfall, this gardening tool can be just the thing to clear off vehicles, driveways, steps and walkways. However, when the snow gets heavy and wet, you’ll need to upgrade to a snow blower.
