Neutralize and Remove Salt Residue
Salt can leave unsightly white stains and damage sidewalks over time. To clean it up:
- Sweep First:Â Use a broom to remove loose salt granules and debris.
- Mix a Solution:Â Combine equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a bucket. The vinegar helps neutralize the salt’s corrosive effects.
- Scrub:Â Use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the sidewalk with the solution.
- Rinse Thoroughly:Â Rinse with clean water to wash away any remaining residue.
- Prevent Future Buildup:Â Apply a concrete sealer to protect the surface from future salt damage.
This method not only cleans the sidewalk but also protects it for the long term!
