Ingredients
- ✅ large container or bucket
- ✅ spray bottle
- 2 quarts (½ gallon) water
- 6 drops of dishwashing liquid, like Blue Dawn
- 2 tablespoons rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol, 70% or 91%
- Add all ingredients to the bucket or similar container. Dispense using the spray bottle. Spray the mixture on icy areas or steps and watch the snow and ice melt. This will make your job of making those areas safe so much easier.
- Why this works: Rubbing alcohol won’t freeze until it reaches at least -97 Fahrenheit (yes minus; below zero!) Since this recipe contains water, this mixture would freeze at a warmer temperature of -50 degrees Fahrenheit. As for the dishwashing liquid, just a few drops help break the surface tension of the ice and snow to get the melting process started and into high gear.
- Neither the alcohol nor dishwashing liquid is harmful to the landscape, pets, or the environment due to a very weak dilution.
- Salt Water
- subheading: You’ll need:
- ✅ bucket
- ✅ salt (table salt or rock salt)
- ✅ warm water
