Slipping on icy steps can send you straight to the emergency room in seconds. One wrong step on invisible ice is all it takes. That’s why many homeowners are switching from damaging rock salt to a simple, low-cost homemade ice melt.
This easy mix uses everyday items: dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and warm water. It helps loosen ice, lowers the freezing point, and reduces refreezing—without ruining concrete or metal.
While it’s not a cure for every winter storm, this DIY solution can make walkways safer, prevent falls, and give you peace of mind during cold mornings. A small step can help protect you and your family this winter.
