A Quick Comparison Of Liquid Vs. Granular Ice Melt Solutions

Hey there, winter warriors! Let’s dive into a topic that’s hotter than your morning coffee in these chilly months: the epic showdown between liquid and granular ice melts. You all scratch our heads to find that perfect ice melt that will not harm our pets or the beauty of our lawns and driveways. You are not alone in this we all have been in that place. It’s like choosing between heat pads and blower, both will work but oh boy, differently. 

Salt Free Ice Melt

Liquid Ice Melt: The Slick Choice With A Twist

So, liquid ice melt – it’s the new kid on the block, and it’s got some flashy tricks up its sleeve.

• The Good Stuff: Picture this: you’re out there before the storm hits, laying down a liquid barrier like a pro. It sticks to the pavement like glue, promising a less icy greeting in the morning.
• But Here’s The Catch: While it’s a great pre-treatment, using liquid ice melt can feel like you’re burning cash. It can be pricier and might need some fancy gear to spread it evenly. Plus, if you are not careful, you will end up spreading a slushy mess and half-melted ice. 
• What About Our Mother Nature?: Here’s where things gonna get dicey. Many liquid deicers are loaded with chloride-based chloride, like the notorious magnesium chloride. They’re tough on ice but also tough on your lawn and furry friends. And let’s not even start on what they can do to your metal railings and concrete.

Granular Ice Melt: The Old-School Favorite With Its Baggage

Granular ice melts are like the trusty snow boots you’ve had for years – reliable but a bit rough around the edges.

• Old Reliable: There’s something satisfying about sprinkling those granules on an icy driveway. You can see exactly where you’ve been, and it feels like you’re giving Old Man Winter a run for his money.
• The Not-So-Great Part: These granules can get a bit carried away, hitching rides on shoes and paws, only to end up all over your floors. And sometimes, they take their sweet time to start working. Not great when you’re late for work and your driveway is an ice rink.
• The Environmental Oops: Just like their liquid counterparts, these granules often come packed with the same environment-unfriendly chloride compounds. They’re not doing any favors to your plants or pets, and they can leave your concrete and metals worse for wear.
