Snow…depending on your viewpoint, it’s either the best or worst part of winter. Regardless of how you feel, at some point snow and ice removal is unavoidable. Follow these quick and easy tips below to make your life easier.
Shoveling is hard work. Follow these tips:
For your front lead walk, do not use bag salt to melt ice. Even "safe" chemical deicers can harm concrete and be dangerous to your beloved animals and plants. Sand or kitty litter work just as well at providing traction WITHOUT any negative side effects. If you decide to use kitty litter, be sure to use the natural, non-clumping type. And with either substance, remember to remove your boots before walking on any hardwood floors in your home.
If you have an easily accessible flat roof, such as a rooftop terrace, remember to remove the snow from that surface. But be careful! Consider using a broom in this circumstance so you don’t damage the roof’s protective membrane.
Always consider where you place shoveled snow. Whether removing snow from the roof, a deck or driveway NEVER pile snow against the foundation of your home. Doing this can lead to all sorts of unforeseen damage.
