Step 1: Spread The Ice Melt Prior To The First Snowfall
Spread the ice melt before the first snowfall to ensure the ice does not stick to the ground. It makes removing the snow easier and creates a barrier between the icy layer and the concrete surface.
Step 2: Get Rid Of The Snow First.
This is key—if there’s snow on top of your driveway or sidewalk, it could prevent the ice melt from working as well as it should. Make sure you remove all snow before applying any kind of ice melt product.
Take a shovel or snow blower and remove excessive snow. It will help you to spread the ice melt easily and help you from falling or slipping.

Okay, maybe this sounds obvious, but some people forget that there are instructions on their products that tell them exactly how much product they should put down per square foot or area covered by snow removal equipment (like a snowblower). Make sure you read these instructions carefully so that you don’t waste money or end up with slushy sidewalks when all is said and done!
Step 4: Evenly Distribute It
If you’re using an effective ice melt like Safe Thaw, simply spread the admixture evenly on the concrete surface. Safe Thaw covers 100 sq. ft. per lb., making it economical as you use nearly ¼ of any other ice melt product in the market.
