When winter hits Canada, keeping your exterior spaces clean becomes a serious challenge. Snow, slush, salt, and grime build up fast, and they don’t just look bad, they also cause long-term damage. At Rivon Inc., your trusted Canadian cleaning equipment supplier, we’ve helped thousands of customers power through harsh winters. Here are our top 5 expert power washing tips to keep your business or property shining during the coldest months.

Use Cold-Weather Detergents Not all detergents are made for winter. Rivon Cleaning Supplier stocks winter-grade degreasers and eco-friendly soaps that are specially formulated to work even in sub-zero temperatures. Always check the product’s freeze point and application instructions.

Preheat Surfaces When Possible Before applying power, try to warm up icy surfaces using heat lamps or by allowing sunlight exposure. It makes washing easier and more effective, especially for driveways and loading zones.

Choose the Right PSI Cold surfaces can crack under high pressure. Choose a machine from Rivon’s cold-weather safe pressure washer collection — we offer adjustable PSI units designed specifically for Canadian conditions.

Wear Insulated Safety Gear Safety first! When handling power washing equipment in winter, use anti-slip boots and insulated waterproof gloves. Rivon Inc. offers full cold-weather PPE kits to keep you warm and safe on the job.

Don’t Let Your Equipment Freeze After use, always drain your machine, wrap hoses, and store equipment in a dry, heated area. Rivon offers winter maintenance kits to help extend your machine’s life.
