Ice Melt: A Better Solution for Ice & Snow Than Salt

Ice Melt: A Better Solution for Ice & Snow Than Salt
Cold weather is upon us, and freezing temperatures mean ice and snow will soon be making an
appearance in our area. One product every home and business should have on hand this time of
year is Ice Melt. When applied correctly, it helps keep driveways clear and walkways safe all winter long.

At Burns Feed Store, we carry the Salt Depot “Ice Heat” brand of Ice Melt in both 20 lb. and
50 lb. bags. We also carry 50 lb. Ice Slicer with a Pet Safe label, offering another effective
option for keeping areas clear while being mindful of pets.
Many people rely on traditional rock salt to manage ice and snow in high-traffic areas. However,
salt is often over-applied, which can lead to damage to concrete, asphalt, and surrounding
vegetation. Ice Melt products are a safer, more effective alternative, and a better value when used
properly.

Application Tips
For best results, apply Ice Melt at the manufacturer-recommended rate of ½ – 1 ½ cups per
square yard of surface area. Proper application not only improves effectiveness but also helps
stretch your dollars.
