Products in the winter..

[richy22]

Anyone else popped into the shed/garage and noticed most of their products either frozen up or looking a bit "odd"?

My newly acquired bottle of bilberry was nigh on fully frozen, my bottle of supernatural shampoo was looking rather cloudy..a new bottle of snow foam had what looked like mould in it (but was actually ice/frost but looked green).

I hope half of them aint fcuked..id be rather pissed.

Fucked.

Should keep them inside.

Its only certain what il call "top end" products that seem to be having this issue.

Last year they were in the shed....same temperatures and no issues with any of the others. I bought Supernatural in and that has now lost its cloudiness and back to normal. Maybe should bring them in but meh...they have been fine for years in the garage/shed.

Made a mistake with some Megs QD last year. Inside they be. Well, heated garage ftw!

Luckily most of the other bits seem okay. To be honest I have waaay to much s**t that I don't use. Il find out what, if anything, has "died" once it warms up.

Megs QD is fine..magifoam from autobrite is the one big thing that seems to be not enjoying the cold spell.

i noticed that too, the snow foam bottle was like mush as you say.

So is it just personal pref to keep it inside or does it actualy harm/loose the better ness of the product?

f**k, I best go check my snow foam and bilberry wheel cleaner... Be gutted if they are knackered!

Luckily, I keep most of the stuff in my room, its just the 5l tubs that are in my garage.

Unsure on that one geddes..as said last year things were fine..I didnt even notice any difference once it had got a bit warmer. But this year certain snow foams have gone mushy nad only 1 tub of bilberry has frozen up.

Likewise its only some of the larger items I cant store anywhere "your not keeping that crap in the house"

Most of my stuff is inside to be fair.

No had any problems in the garage with the cleaning stuff yet!

It shouldn't harm the products too much at all - might be wrong, but don't see any reason for it to. The products that are more water based will have their H2O molecules frozenedeedddeedddd and therefore might separate... but a good warm through and shake up should see them right again.
