Removing Ice from Your Driveway

Safe and Effective Ice Removal

1. Shovel First: Clear as much snow as possible before it compacts and turns to ice.
2. Use Ice Melt Sparingly: Apply a pet-safe or environmentally friendly ice melt product. Avoid overapplication, as excessive salt can damage concrete and plants.
3. DIY Solution: Mix 1 part water, 1 part rubbing alcohol, and a few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle. Apply it to icy spots for quick melting.
4. Sand for Traction: If ice persists, spread sand, cat litter, or gravel for better traction until temperatures allow for full removal.

Preventing ice buildup early is key to maintaining a safe and accessible driveway
