6 Ways To Safely And Effectively Use Ice Melts
Pre-treat the surface
Pre-treating the surface with ice melt means applying the ice melt before the storm hits. Pretreating leads to the formation of brine that prevents the snow from sticking to the surface. After the snowfall, whether you’re cleaning the snow manually or using ice-melt, it takes less effort and time if you have pre-treated surfaces.
Choose a safer option
It is common knowledge now that using rock salt is not the best way to melt the ice. As winter approaches, homeowners start hunting for ice melter safe for concrete, driveways, and roofs. Also, people with pets and children start looking for ice melters safe for dogs, cats, and kids.
Ice melter safe for concrete: Most of the ice melts are corrosive in nature (even that bag of salt that has a non-corrosive inhibitor). The fact is chloride causes corrosion. Choose an ice melter that is non-toxic, chloride-free, and salt-free.
Ice melter safe for dogs: Most of the Snow melters in the market are chemicals that are poisonous to animals. Some companies round off the sharp edges of the salt and claim themselves to be pet-friendly. The reality is they still contain those harmful chemicals that pets can lick from their paws and get sick.
Very few companies are actually salt-free and safe for pets.
