The ice melters featured on IceMeltNow.com are used nationally, and will not harm vegatation when used as directed.  Most ice melt manufacturers also state the same. Yet, we have seen that vegeataion can be damaged by ice melt use.  We have the results and conclusions of independent studies in our library on this topic, for more information please contact us.

Here are some helpful use suggestions:

    ·  Effectiveness of the Ice Melter

If your product melts ice slowly, then over application may occur in order to make the surface safe.

Þ Use an ice melter that melts ice quickly, even in colder temperatures.  Contact us for more information.

If you apply icemelt with a broadcast spreader that throws it into the vegataion, this is over application.

Þ Use a spreader with a deflector shield to keep the product out of the grass and on the sidewalk.

If you ice melter is white or clear it may be hard to determine if you are applying it properly.

Þ Use an ice melter with a coverage indicator to help prevent over use.

If the winter is harsh, more ice melt is used.  Seasonal ice melt use can vary by 300% or more. 

The type of winter, and the amount of ice melt required impacts your vegatation.

Þ Choose a good ice melter and apply it properly.
