If you need help finding an eco-safe ice melt here are five eco-friendly methods:

Fill a bucket with hot water and pour it on the sidewalk.

Fill a bucket with hot water and pour it on the sidewalk. You can either keep the bucket handy in the house or if you have a few of them, place them outside.
