The last thing you want to do in the dark and chilly months of winter is shovel ice and snow from your driveway. While rock salt is a quick remedy for slick surfaces, it isn’t always easy to come by when the temps plummet. 

Winterizing your home doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Using the best ice melt for new concrete and other surfaces will save your money and effort. You need not worry about costly repairs and slip and fall accidents.

Cons Of Using Rock Salt 

Rock salt, commonly known as sodium chloride, is used throughout the country to melt ice and prevent new ice from forming on roadways, walkways, and parking lots. 

Animals may be harmed (salt exposure can cause irritated paws, dehydration, bacterial infections, and other ailments) Can hasten the corrosion of metals and cause concrete deterioration over time. When used in excess, it might harm shrubs and other plants. Salt runoff has the potential to contaminate local rivers. Only at temperatures over -10°C does it perform correctly.
