Tips for Safely Clearing Ice from Your Walkways This Winter

Prepare for Winter Early
If you live in an area with cold, snowy winters, preparation is key. In our region, freezing temperatures and heavy snow are common. I’ve already dug out our snow shovel and considered picking up a container of road salt. But after discovering this simple hack, I might not need it at all!

A Simple DIY De-Icing SolutionAccording to Nashville Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, all you need is:

1 teaspoon of dish soap

1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol

1/2 gallon of hot or warm water

Mix these ingredients and pour the solution over icy stairs or walkways. The best part? These areas won’t refreeze. Unlike road salt, this method doesn’t damage concrete over time.

Making Winter Safer and Easier
I’m always looking for ways to make winter more manageable. If this quick hack keeps walkways clear and safe, I’m ready to give it a try!

Stay Safe on Ice
While keeping your paths ice-free is important, it’s equally crucial to know how to avoid slipping. Simple precautions can help prevent winter accidents.
