So, How Much Ice Melt Is Safe For Concrete And Surrounding?
- Surface Area
Depending on the surface area, your application of the ice melt product will vary. Each product comes with its set of instructions that you must read before using. Generally, you need approx. 2 to 4 ounces of ice melt per square yard on the driveway.
- Place Of Using The Ice Melt
It is best to know where you are applying the ice melt. Safe Thaw is the only ice melt safe on rubber roof. It can be used on the roof, driveway, sidewalk, backyard, and almost everywhere. As a rule of thumb, you only need 1/2 a cup of ice melt per square yard. When applying it, remember to spread it evenly, so it reaches all corners of the area.

- Store In A Dry Place
How much ice melt is safe for concrete depends on how you store the product. If the product is exposed to moisture, it will make it clumpy and hard and force you to use more than required. It is best to store it in a dry and safe place, such as your garage, in an airtight container. You must retain its original texture to avoid overuse.
