Winter
weather is now here, and the sub-freezing temperatures provide a
problem for homeowners across the northeast – ice. Many people with
ice on their driveways or sidewalks use rock salt or chemical deicers
to get rid of it, but this is not the best solution. Not only are
these products harmful to your pets and the environment, they can
also corrode the coating on your asphalt driveway. Instead of rock
salt or other chemical deicers, opt for one of the following
alternatives:
- Shovel. The blue collar way to deal with an ice problem – with a shovel. If you completely shovel your driveway after a storm, there will not be anything left on the surface to freeze. It may take a little bit of manual labor, but it is free and completely safe for your driveway and the environment.
- Sand. Sand is a great option for providing traction to icy surfaces. While it will not melt the ice, it provides you, your family, and any visitors to your house with a safe way to walk across it. Sand is the best option for traction because kitty litter gets messy in warmer temperatures.
- Safe Paw. Safe paw is an ice melter which has been proven to be safe for children, pets, and the environment. The salt-free formula of this product allows it to quickly melt the ice outside of your home without causing any damage to your concrete or the ecosystem, which is why it was awarded with PTPA's Green Product Seal.
