Using Ice Melt Responsibly and Effectively All Winter

Stock Up on Ice Melt Before Winter Hits

Avoid the rush and ensure you have enough ice melt for the entire winter, including additional supply for unexpected fall or spring storms. Purchase early to bypass long lines and limited stock. Store your ice melt and snow supplies in a dry, accessible area to keep them ready for use.

When to Apply Ice Melt

For best results, apply ice melt right before snow begins to fall. A light, even layer prevents ice from bonding to surfaces, making shoveling much easier later. While shoveling, scatter small amounts of ice melt every few steps on cleared areas to improve traction.

Be mindful of freeze/thaw cycles, as daytime warmth can create slippery ice patches at night. For very cold evenings, consider applying a light layer of ice melt over cleared paths to reduce the chance of refreezing.

Additional Tips for Effective Ice Melt Use

• Use Last Season’s Ice Melt First: Finish any leftover product from last year before opening new containers. If it has clumped, break it apart for even spreading.
• Prioritize Key Areas: Start with essential zones like entryways, stairs, and walkways. Once these are covered, move on to driveways and other pathways.
• Apply Moderately: Avoid excess—if you see leftover granules after the snow melts, use less next time. Even coverage is more effective than a heavy layer.
• Consider Sloped Areas: Begin at the top of slopes, letting brine trickle downward to reach lower ice patches naturally.
• Avoid Fresh Concrete: Never use deicer on new concrete until it has cured for at least one year.

Safety Considerations with Children and Pets

Many ice melt products contain harsh ingredients that can cause irritation if ingested. Most incidents result in minor symptoms, but it’s best to supervise pets and children around treated areas. To reduce irritation, gently rinse and wipe sensitive areas like paws after exposure.
