Is snow fluid safe?
SNOWboy Snow Fluid is non-toxic, bio-degradable, non-staining and has been dermatologically tested. It is predominately water based and designed to evaporate away to nothing.  SNOWboy Snow Fluid has been used in countless venues and applications all over the world for over 25 years and is designed specifically for the SNOWboy range of machines. We can email a Material Safety Data Sheet if required - SNOWboy Snow Fluid is not subject to COSHH as it is deemed as non hazardous.

Can I return Snow Fluid I don't use?
We do not accept return of Snow Fluid for any quantities under 10 litres (4x 2.5 litre bottles) or opened 20 litre barrels of Snow Fluid. For quantities over 10 litres and 20 litre barrels there is a 20% restocking fee. All fluid returned must be unopened and the tamper seal intact or any refund will be void.

Can I hire Ground Snow equipment to use myself?
Ground Snow equipment requires two technicians to operate it - however, if you are planning on covering a small area, such as a small Christmas tree or a very small garden, you can buy the product and apply it by hand - this is not advisable for large areas. The end result will not be as good as through our machines.
