When Temperatures Rise Above 40°F: How Bay Towel Keeps Your Facility Safe During Snow Melt
As winter begins to loosen its grip and temperatures climb above 40°F, many businesses breathe a sigh of relief. But while the snow may be melting outside, a new set of challenges emerges inside your facility.
Melting snow creates excess moisture, slippery floors, increased dirt and debris, and higher risks of slip-and-fall incidents. For property managers, facility operators, and business owners, this transition period can be just as demanding as a heavy snowfall.
That’s where Bay Towel Workspace steps in.
The Hidden Risks of Snow Melt
When temperatures rise above freezing:
- Snow and ice turn into slush
- Foot traffic tracks in water, salt, and grime
- Entryways become slippery and hazardous
- Floors suffer accelerated wear and tear
- Restrooms and common areas experience increased moisture
Even a few hours of melting snow can create dangerous walking conditions and unsightly interiors. Without proper prevention and maintenance, your business faces:
- Increased liability risks
- Damage to flooring surfaces
- Higher cleaning costs
- Negative first impressions for customers and visitors
Snow melt season isn’t just messy, it’s risky.
Why 40°F Is a Critical Threshold
Once temperatures consistently rise above 40°F:
- Ice breaks down rapidly
- Snowbanks release large volumes of water
- Drainage systems get overwhelmed
- Parking lots and sidewalks become slushy
All that moisture ends up inside your building. Entryways become the front line of defense and without the right support, they can quickly become problem areas.
How Bay Towel Helps You Stay Ahead
At Bay Towel Workspace, we specialize in keeping your facility clean, safe, and professional, especially during seasonal transitions like snow melt. Here’s how our services make a difference:

Reducing Liability During Snow Melt Season
Slip-and-fall incidents are one of the most common causes of workplace injury claims and snow melt significantly increases that risk.

- Frequent product rotation
- Clean, absorbent materials
- Routine service schedules
can dramatically reduce potential hazards.
Our goal is simple: help protect your people, your customers, and your business.
