Directions

1. Sprinkle Driveway Heat ice melter on area to be de-iced, evenly apply 2 to 4 ounces (1/4 to 1/2 cup) per square yard. Do not overapply. If snow is more than 2 inches in depth, all de-icers are impractical so it will be necessary to plow or shovel before applying the product. 2. Allow Driveway Heat ice melter to work for 10 minutes to melt the bond between the ice and surface. 3. Remove melted ice and snow. Keep bag tightly closed when not in use.
