Q: I bout eco friendly salt melt and told it was pet friendly but it has calcium in it. I went back and asked again and was reassured it was. If it doesn’t say pet friendly is it safe for pet,lawns and driveway?

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Yes, the Safe Step 8 lb. Jug Sure Paws Ice Melter is specifically designed to be safe for pets, lawns, and driveways when used as directed. The "calcium" you noted is likely part of its core ingredients, which are different from the highly corrosive calcium chloride found in some traditional melts.

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. Ice melt is not recommended for use on pervious concrete. Per the product label, "Use this product only on good quality, air-entrained concrete for cold weather climates. Do not use on concrete that is less than one year old, has exposed aggregate, is precast, stamped, pre-stressed, chipped, cracked, spalled, or weathered; or on stone, brick, mortar joints, or wood. Not intended for melting ice on roofs, gutters, or in downspouts."

Q: Can you use this before it snows or ices as a preventative?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Thank you for your question. The answer is a big YES. Applying ice melt before a storm will allow the brine to form when the snowfall starts and prevent ice from bonding to surfaces. While it may not entirely melt all the ice and snow, using ice melt before snowfall will simplify the ice and snow removal process.

Left a nice safe melted pathway for the pups, even in the bad ice storm (after shoveling of course) and the chickens didn’t try to eat it. Kept the front porch completely ice free with less product than I thought it’d take to do the job. Will purchase again.
