Ice Melt On Driveway

It is critical to clear ice off your walkway for your own and others’ safety. 

We understand that there are so many ice melt options on the market that they can easily overwhelm a buyer and lead them to make an ill-informed purchase. You may be concerned that ice melt will run out of stock, or that you will be forced to purchase a more expensive alternative. But in case if you are looking for an alternative to Safe Paw ice melt, you will hardly get hold of any other product that can give you 72 hours of protection without causing any damage. This ice melt is safe for new concrete and is non-corrosive.

Ice Melt For New Concrete

Safe Paw - Pet Safe Ice Melt

Safe Paw

The Original and the #1 Pet and Child Safe Ice Melt for over 20 years. Guaranteed environmentally safe – will not harm waterways and sensitive wetlands.

Calcium Magnesium Acetate

CMA (calcium magnesium acetate) provides an alternative, but it is not without flaws. It can deoxygenate the waters it washes into, putting aquatic life at risk. Aside from that, it’s a safe and effective ice melter that won’t hurt your plants, pets, or sidewalk. However, it is significantly more expensive than other ice melting products

Kitty Litter Or Sand 

Spreading sand or cat litter on top of the ice can be beneficial if you don’t want to use chemicals to melt the ice but still want to make your walkways safer to walk on. It gets dirty since you’ll track it into your house on your shoes. It doesn’t truly melt the ice; it only gives you traction

Beet Juice/Brine 

Surprisingly, this sweet sugar beet juice works well as an ice melter. However, unless you prepare a lot of borscht every winter, most homes won’t consume enough beets to make it worthwhile for home production. You can buy a sugar beet juice-based solution that is easy to apply. If you use this brine on your driveway, keep in mind that it contains salt, so it may stick to the underneath of your car and create rust.

Coffee Grounds

The black tint absorbs the sun’s heat, allowing the ice to melt slightly, and the nitrogen in the earth can also assist in melting the ice. It will provide friction between your footwear and the ice, similar to sand. If you plan to use it, be ready to consume coffee day and night to get enough of this product.

Gaia Enterprises Inc. delivers 100% pet-safe and environmentally friendly winter products. Safe Paw, our flagship product, is the #1 selling pet-safe ice melt that does not harm pets, safe if ingested, and safe on all types of concrete.

Alfalfa Meal 

Alfalfa meal is an all-natural fertilizer that is used to melt ice. It’s high in nitrogen, which aids in ice melting while also giving grippy traction. But it is not as effective as Safe Paw.

Heated Mats

These expensive devices connect to a 110-volt outlet or a 12-volt socket in a car. They’re fantastic for clearing tiny areas like the front stoop or in front of car tires, but if you try to clear a complete driveway with one, you’ll be done by the next storm or the spring thaw.

Conclusion

There are a few considerations to keep in mind while purchasing ice melt for your driveway, sidewalk, or property in general. Even though many products claim to be effective and safe, nothing can beat the safety of Safe paw ice melt. This ice melt is safe for new concrete as well as old concrete and other surfaces. Safe paws work in a gentle way to keep kids and pets safe and maintain ecological balance.
