Bought product to keep ahead of ice buildup. During recent severe cold snap, pre-treated concrete steps and sidewalk area. Kept ice from forming. Only problem is it stayed damp so snow formed over area. Was easy to clear off later though.
Used this prior to an ice/snow storm and it really helped keep it from sticking to the concrete which made for easy clearing, as it was not stuck to the concrete!! Would recommend it as a pretreatment to keep ice from sticking to concrete!!
I tried this product during 2 separate snow events and found no difference regarding accumulation from my neighbors that did not use the product.
I liked this product because it worked well as a spray in the areas I wanted to be able to clear quickly and with minimum effort. I'm 86 and not as strong as I once was so quickly loosening slabs of icy snow and pushing them out of the way easily was a great help to me. Thanks!
Wonderful product; helped me cut down on time spent with shovel. No mess left behind like rock salt.
I had high hopes for this deicer. I have a steep driveway that gets slippery even with fastidious care. The liquid deicer improved the efficacy of my salt/ shoveling be definitely did not prevent snow and ice accumulation as I'd hoped.
Bought one gallon to try it; returned after it worked & was used. Mixed about 50/50 with water & sprayed in a setting with ice & slop on concrete. Work over the next day.
I applied it before a heavy snow storm on the sidewalks and did not get the results I anticipated. I think this product would be good for smaller snow events.
Have used this product as pretreatment before storms, and on driveways after clearing larger amounts of snow. It works well - especially with sleet/freezing rain. Walk behind liquid spreader is helpful for large areas (we treat 12,000 sq.ft. per storm).
Here in the northeast, we are having a lot of snow (and ice). I applied this product and it really worked. My front walk stays clear, and falling snow can be brushed off with a broom.
BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH IT. SPRAY BEFORE ICE FORMS, AND IT MAKES IT EASIER TO REMOVE THE ICE WITH A SHOVEL. ICE WILL NOT STICK TO CEMENT. USE A PESTICIDE SPRAYER TANK TO APPLY. WORKS GREAT. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.
