T&M Window Cleaning

KEEPING YOUR HANDS WARM WHILE WORKING

When cleaning windows during winter months, it is very important that you stay warm. Keeping your head, feet and hands warm are vital to you staying warm. Of course working with water, the most challenging is to keep your hands warm. Or so one might think. Over many years one learns how to do this effectively. And the most effective way to keep your hands warm when cleaning windows is the same as keeping the body warm; layers. Adjust the type of gloves and the layers of gloves accordingly to the weather of the day.

Living in Kamloops B.C., we don't get allot of extreme cold, but when we do, having the right gloves makes all the difference. For extreme cold weather a good quality neoprene glove with built in plastic layers will give you dry hands and the dexterity required for working. For warmth, it is good to wear a good quality long knitted glove inside of the neoprene glove. If your hands still are not warm, you can insert into your gloves hand warmers, which are small packets easily found in various outdoor sports type stores. If you are unable to locate a good quality neoprene glove with built in plastic layers you can add a plastic glove between a simple neoprene glove and your knitted glove.

For most of the winter here in Kamloops, a less bulky glove is more than enough. A heavy duty PVC glove with textured grip is more than enough to keep ones fingers toasty while giving good dexterity for working. Try it out to make sure you have good movement in the fingers and allow room for a knitted glove inside, and you will have the warmest hands in town and still be able to work effectively.
