Snow Joe Premium Enviro Blend Ice Melt Green-Coated Deicer Crystals - Safer Melter for Vegetation Concrete Metals w

Safe for plants and animals and melts ice way better than the salty versions! Good price point for size and takes very little to do the job. Works fast and keeping the walkways I shoveled clear of ice, even overnight. Read more

A friend who works in the snow removal industry (plows, shovels, de-icing for commercial properties) recommended this product to me as it was the closest I could get without a commercial contract where this type of product is delivered by the truckfull. I am familiar with rock salt and the use of kitty litter, both of which have negative effects on areas surrounding sidewalks (plants, grass, etc.) This product says it does not harm surrounding vegetation and it doesn't. It performs better than rock salt and actually melts ice rather than act an aggregate like kitty litter. Even better, once down and the ice is gone, it somewhat "protects" the sidewalk if more snow, sleet or ice follows. The other thing thing that is great is the lack of corrosion on metals. I shovel the sidewalk of a neighbor who is in a wheelchair and has a long aluminum ramp. This product keeps the ice off of the ramp and does not corrode the aluminum. It also does not affect my wrought iron railings. The amount used is not great. I would suspect that it is less than rock salt or kitty litter, so the application per weather event is less, which makes a difference when comparing costs between de-icing methods. All in all, this is a really good product, even though you kind of hope you never need to use it. Who wants to deal with ice or sleet on driveways, ramps, sidewalks and steps? But if you have to deal with it, this is a winner of a product. Read more

I used this ice melt on my driveway after a heavy snowfall, and it did a great job breaking down the ice quickly. I spread it over the tire tracks and slippery areas, and it started working almost right away. The ice softened and melted much faster than regular rock salt, which made the driveway a lot safer to walk and drive on. I also like that it doesn’t leave behind a thick residue once the snow and ice melt. The crystals are easy to spread and cover a good area without needing to use too much. After using it, I noticed less refreezing overnight compared to other products I’ve tried before. Overall, it’s very effective, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do during winter weather. I’ll definitely keep this on hand for future storms and would recommend it for driveways and walkways. Read more

Decent product. Needs to be applied generously. We had a light ice storm. I had spread my back steps and walkway with this ice melt for preventive measures, but it seemed to work best throwing it down after ice/snow accumulated. Ice melted rapidly. My senior dog was able to go in and out without my worries of him slipping or burning his paws on the salt. It left behind a slight residue, which is to be expected and is easily cleaned with a damp broom. Read more

2nd time buying — green salt, it works great. It’s probably a little more money than other brands, but I know it works, it’s pins per safe, and as much as I’d like it to last longer, a lot does depend on how much snow and ice we get. But it does last a long time once it’s spread on the sidewalk and driveway, and it starts working immediately, so for me, it’s worth the price. I’d rather spend a little more as I know my chances of slipping/sliding/falling are lessened. Read more

Gave the product 5 stars: excellent ice melt for me. Works very good. The only problem was not related to this seller.. JUST AMAZON'S DELIVERY PERSONEL!!! Only the delivery was not up to par....AMAZON needs to get their people to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!!!! This was delivered to an elderly woman (82yo)... The delivery instructions were for the package to be placed inside the screen door on the screened in porch because she cannot lift the 40-pound bag.... Instead, it was placed on the steps blocking the screen door. Thank God someone stopped by that was able to move the Ice melt for her. Read more

This is the best Ice melt I’ve ever used. It works instantly and continues working to melt ice and snow for several days after. Just a great product! Read more

I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. It is free-flowing, so it's easy to scoop out and use. It seems to do well at melting the ice and snow, as well as providing traction. My only complaint is the package size. I knew it was going to weigh 50 pounds when I bought it, and I wanted the larger, more cost-effective package. But for a senior woman, 50 pounds is more than I can easily handle. I'd do much better with a 40-pound bag. Read more
