Mountains of snow and icy slides are only a joy for children who decide to go sledding and play snowballs.
Summer residents, like owners of private houses, are forced to deal with icy paths - since they resemble a real skating rink, moving along them becomes problematic.
Of course, you can sprinkle salt or sand on the ice, but you will have to wait several hours for the effect.
Moreover, if there are flower beds or garden beds next to the paths, salt can have a negative effect on future plants.
How to deal with ice
Therefore, it makes sense to look for alternative ways to combat ice - such as this one, for example.
It involves preparing a special solution that frees paths from ice captivity in a matter of minutes.
The liquid is easy to prepare: mix 2 liters of hot water, 6 drops of dishwashing liquid and 0.25 cups of alcohol.
Once you have mixed all the ingredients in the bucket, pour the resulting mixture onto the path.
The ice will start to hiss, and after a minute only water will remain in its place.
Thanks to the alcohol in the product, when the ice melts, it will not freeze again, and the paths near your house and the rest of the area will remain clean.
By the way, this method is also good for defrosting locks on gates or cars.
