Icy, Dangerous free vac parking area.

[Tunnelvision1966]

Hello all, does anyone have any suggestion on how to reduce or possibly eliminate ice build up in a free vac parking area? Cars are parking in vac stalls after the wash, dripping down and creating slippery and dangerous conditions for customers vacuuming their vehicles. Any recommendations or suggestions would be sincerely appreciated! Thank You

Close the free vacs during bad weather.

Lots of Rock Salt and Calcium Chloride Ice melt. We buy Calcium Chloride Ice melt by the pallet and use water softener salt.

Is that easier than putting down ice melt?

Does water softener salt actually work? Costs less than any ice melt salt.

I agree. Most people aren't going to vacuum during freezing weather.

Get a salt-spreader and have your staff monitor the lot for ice.
