Don't start clearing snow until you've treated your equipment: An affordable remedy

Getting up on a winter morning and clearing snow from your paths is a warm-up that is beneficial for your work, body and mood.

To get real pleasure from work, prepare your inventory with one accessible tool.

The problem is that in warm winters the snow becomes dense and heavy.

And because it constantly sticks to the shovel, it becomes heavier and a seemingly simple task takes away the last of your strength.

How to treat a snow shovel

Instead of constantly knocking off the stuck snow, head to the kitchen for some vegetable oil.

Apply it to a suitable rag or cotton pad and then treat the surface of the shovel on both sides.

There shouldn't be a lot of oil and it shouldn't drip off the shovel.

It doesn't matter what material your shovel is made of - wood, metal or plastic.

The oil will make the task easier and reduce the time it takes to remove snow.

Don't forget to renew the protective layer periodically.
