When salt products are spread over streets and walkways, the salt inevitably splashes onto nearby foliage. The sodium chloride burns the plants and gets absorbed by the plants&rsquo; root systems.<\/p>\n<p>Spring-Green also states that using alternate ice-melt products aren&rsquo;t the answer either. Commercial products contain potassium chloride which has a lower burn rate than sodium chloride, but fails to effectively melt the ice. What these alternate snow and ice melt products do is break the bond between the ice and the surface below, making it easier for you to remove the ice manually.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> heated driveways and snowmelt systems are the best option to melt the ice and protect your landscaping.
