Green technology products not only protect the environment, it protects your home, family and pets. In places where ice prevent residents from coming out of their homes and driving their vehicles, ice can be a major hindrance.
Major snow and ice removal companies use harmful chemicals and salts to melt the ice and get rid of the snow. The problem with most salts is not that they are ineffective against melting ice, but that they are harmful to human and pet life.
Safe Paw Ice Melt is environmental safe, salt free and it works. Finding an ice melt product that works, and does not contain sodium chloride is the key to finding a really great ice melter.
What Makes Ice Melt Salt without Sodium Chloride Safe
Most chloride based ice melt products destroy plants, shrubberies, and damage even the hardest surfaces. For an ice melter product to work, it must be applied to the external surfaces of asphalt, concrete and pavement. These surfaces are the highest impacted areas that ice build up affects. Ice Melter melts the ice, and does not leave behind any chemical residue, that can harm plants, animals, people or property. Other ice melting products are not eco friendly, nor are they safe for pets or children.
Let’s dive into some smart ways to use ice melting salts so you can step out with confidence this winter.
Preparing to Deice: What You Need to Know
Before you even grab that bag of deicing salt, let’s talk pet safety and winter safety. Your furry friends and the fam are counting on you to choose a method that’s safe for their paws and play. Opt for pet-safe options and keep your sidewalks clear without harm.

Applying ice melt salt isn’t just tossing it out your front door and hoping for the best. Nope, there’s a bit of science to it! First off, think about using a pet-safe ice melt before the storm hits. Don’t use brine solution as it’s corrosive. Why use ice melt before the storm? It can prevent ice from bonding to the surface, making it easier to manage later. Here’s a breakdown of how to do it right:
Measure: Don’t just wing it. Use enough ice melt or salt to cover the area effectively but avoid overdoing it. More isn’t always better—it can damage surfaces and isn’t great for the environment.
Timing is Everything: Apply your ice melt before the snow starts to fall if you can. It’s way more effective and means you’ll use less salt in the long run.
Spread Evenly: Got a spreader? Use it! It’ll help you distribute the ice melt or salt whatever you’re using evenly, preventing those pesky icy patches and ensuring every step is a safe one.
Keeping Everyone Safe
Remember, while salt for ice is a go-to for quick melts, it’s not without its drawbacks. It can be tough on your driveway and dangerous if your pets get too curious. Always choose a deicing salt that’s safe for your home and the environment.
And there you have it! With these ice melt application tips, you’re ready to face the frost with knowledge on your side.

How Does Ice Melter with Sodium Chloride Work to Melt Ice
The secret is in the ingredients. Where many brands of ice melting products contain sodium chloride, Safe Paw Ice Melter does not. Instead, Safe Paw has a dual patented formula, which is made from a special blend of traction agents, modified and infused crystalline amid, and a glycol admixture. These combined ingredients work in sync with each other on a time release schedule.
The compounds begin melting away the ice instantly while breaking through the icy surfaces. The liquid penetrates the ice and destabilizes the ice, which aids in the melting process. The agents in the compound release a non-slip protection agent, that prevents slips and falls, associated with ice build-up.
What is so Amazing About Safe Paw?
The solar properties found in Safe Paw work as a magnet to attract solar heat, during daylight hours. Once the ice is melted an invisible protective shield is left behind for 72 hours to prevent the ice from adhering to already cleared surfaces. This process of solar heating makes shoveling ice easier, safer, and more economical. It is the only ice-melting product on the market that is 100 percent safe for humans, property, and the environment.

A. You can melt ice without salt by using various alternatives such as calcium magnesium acetate, beet juice, sugar beet, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, or certain types of alcohol. These alternatives are often sold as “”no salt ice melt”” products.
A. While both products are designed to melt ice, the key difference lies in their ingredients and effectiveness at different temperatures. Salt, or sodium chloride, is effective down to about 20°F (-6°C), while ice melts that contain calcium chloride or magnesium chloride can work at much colder temperatures.

A. Sodium-free ice melt works by using alternatives such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, or calcium magnesium acetate. These chemicals lower the freezing point of water in a similar way to sodium chloride, but can be less corrosive and harmful to the environment.
A. Yes, by applying substances such as sand for traction and shoveling regularly. Using a snowblower is another method. In addition, various salt-free ice melt products are available on the market.
A. While table salt is capable of melting ice, it isn’t as efficient as other types of salt, such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride. Also, table salt becomes ineffective at melting ice when the temperature drops below approximately 20°F (-6°C).
A. Yes, rock salt is commonly used as a deicer to melt ice on driveways and sidewalks. However, rock salt is less effective in extreme cold and can be harmful to both the environment and concrete surfaces.
A. Rock salt is typically more effective than table salt for melting ice due to its larger crystal size, which allows it to remain on the surface longer and slow the reformation of ice. However, it is less effective than other deicers like calcium chloride.
A. While both table salt and rock salt can effectively melt ice at certain temperatures, they can also be harmful to the environment, pets, and can damage concrete surfaces over time.
A. Yes, alternatives to table and rock salt include products such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium magnesium acetate, and even certain types of pet-safe, eco-friendly products. These can be safer for the environment and more effective at lower temperatures.
A. While table salt and rock salt may initially seem more cost-effective, it’s important to consider their potential for causing damage to surfaces and the environment over time. Other products, while potentially more expensive upfront, can end up saving money in the long term due to reduced damage and increased effectiveness.
