Get ready for winter – after all it comes every year!
Snow removal with shovels, snow blowers, and snow plows will remove the bulk of the winter snow and the sun will typically melt ice but for those areas where persistent slippery ice forms, you may need to bring in something to melt the ice.
Ice melting comes in the form of chemical reactions like:
- Calcium Chloride.
- Sodium Chloride Liquid Brine.
- Magnesium Chloride.
- Sodium Acetate.
- Sodium Chloride.
- Potassium Chloride.
- Urea.
Some of these chemicals can damage concrete and are bad for pet paws. Other options are electric heat or propane heat.
Here are some examples of ice-melting products on the market.
