    Hi listeners!

    We're thrilled to have you tuning in to Safe Paw, your go-to destination for all your ice melt safety needs. Whether you're a pet owner, a parent, or simply someone who wants to create a safe environment, we've got you covered with expert advice, practical tips, and eco-friendly solutions.

     Welcome to our session today, where we'll be shedding light on Why Do Salt And Ice Together Burn The Skin?

    While salt is a common way of melting snow and ice, it poses some health concerns to humans and animals. There are also more adverse effects to be cautious of, including corrosion and potential property damage. Here we will discuss the skin-burning of salt and ice and how to avoid it by using rock salt alternatives.

    Why Do Salt And Ice Together Burn The Skin?

    A unique chemical reaction occurs when salt, water, ice, and body heat are combined, lowering the temperature of the ice to -28°C (-18°F). Holding something that cold against your skin for two to three minutes will result in a full-thickness burn. Frostbite causes the burn, which occurs because salt lowers the temperature at which ice melts.

    Non Toxic Ice Melt

    Putting ice or any other chemical cold pack directly on the skin, whether manufactured or not, can cause frostbite in minutes. In the skin cells, ice crystals develop, and blood flow decreases, depriving the tissues of oxygen. The ice burn causes irreversible harm to your skin and underlying tissues as it proceeds.

    When the skin freezes, it is called frostbite, and there are three degrees of frostbite. You will experience tingling and discomfort if you have first-degree frostbite. Second-degree frostbite causes blisters, which heal over time. Frostbite of the third degree causes lasting damage to the skin tissues.

    If you suspect you’re developing an ice burn, turn off the source of the cold right away, take efforts to gradually warm up your skin. If you suffer any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention right away.

    When you touch your skin, it is pale, cold, and as hard as a rock. As your skin warms up, it remains numb and does not burn. Your skin is pale and does not return to its usual color as the temperature rises. If you get blisters across an area of the skin, you should seek medical help.

    How To Avoid It ?

    Ice melt prevents ice and snow from forming, whereas rock salt melts existing ice and snow. Natural ice melt is less corrosive than rock salt.

  • Don’t Salt Your Steps: Ice Melting Tips
    Jul 18 2023

    Hello everybody!

    Welcome to Safe Paw, your ultimate resource for all things related to ice melt safety and more. We're excited to have you here and share valuable insights and tips on how to keep your pets, kids, home, and concrete surfaces safe during the winter months.

    Today's episode is about Ice Melting Tips: Don’t Salt Your Steps.

    Are you not looking forward to a winter wonderland? Yes, most of us are. But one thing that we often forget is the long list of things we need to do to prepare ourselves for the season. Gearing up against the challenge of keeping ourselves and our families safe in winters is the biggest challenge. Getting rid of snow and ice on steps, driveway, parking lot, and sidewalk is one of the biggest winter woes.

    A common way to clear icy pavement is to use rock salt. However, it can lead to big headaches later. Rock salt is corrosive to concrete, asphalt, and bricks as well. Salt traces left on the surface cause stains and streaks. The real problem starts when it gets into the porous concrete and creates holes and cracks that get worse with frequent freeze-thaw cycles of water. 

    In this article, we will talk about 5 Ice melting tips to get rid of snow this winter.

    1.See Ingredients

    If you are looking for a safe ice melt this winter, then you must check the ingredients. What makes salt an inappropriate solution is its composition. Rock salt is basically sodium chloride. Most of the ice melt are generally a blend of sodium chloride and other minerals like magnesium and calcium. While both salt and ice melt have chloride in their composition, there are a few salt-free and chemical-free ice melt. These chloride-free ice melts are non-toxic and non-corrosive as they are composed of natural ingredients like urea, which is safe to use around pets, kids, concrete, and plants.

    2.Check side effects

    As mentioned above, rock salt and most ice melt damage your lawn, driveways, pavements, and steps.

    The porous concrete on your driveway and steps absorbs the salty mixture. When the temperature drops below 25 degrees, the water refreezes and puts additional hydraulic pressure on the concrete, thereby damaging it. 

    A good ice melt that is safe on concrete is composed of natural ingredients and therefore does not damage your concrete.

    3.Pre-treat the  surface

    Pre-treating your steps with the best ice melt for new concrete prevents the snow from freezing up when it hits t

  • 5 Ways To Safely Remove Ice From Your Deck
    Jul 17 2023

    Hi listeners!

    We're thrilled to have you tuning in to Safe Paw, your go-to destination for all your ice melt safety needs. Whether you're a pet owner, a parent, or simply someone who wants to create a safe environment, we've got you covered with expert advice, practical tips, and eco-friendly solutions.

    Welcome to our session today, where we'll be looking at 5 Ways To Safely Remove Ice From Your Deck

    The use of an outside deck that is piled high with snow and ice layers is limited. It is in your best interest to keep your deck as free of ice and snow as possible during the winter months. Using snow and ice melt solutions and tools are various ways to do so. These include-

    1.Late Autumn Is A Great Time To Get Your Deck Ready

    Don’t put off thinking about your deck until the first big snowstorm. During the early weeks of winter or the last weeks of fall, plan. This will prevent moisture buildup and prevent any pre-existing problems from going undiscovered under a blanket of snow.

    Before the first snowflakes fall, sweep away any dirt or trash.

    Planters and pots should be removed. 

    The Decks are usually equipped with drainage holes, which trap moisture between the pots and the deck’s surface.

    2.Chemicals, Not Salt, Are Used To Melt Ice

    To remove ice from your deck boards, get an approved de-icer or ice-melting solution. It should be done with caution because of some chemicals like sodium chloride, rock salt, and chlorine. They might harm or discolor the boards. Choose an ice melter that is safe for your deck board materials and use only as much as is necessary to melt the ice. A safe Paw is a great option. It’s a non-toxic, pet-safe, and environmentally friendly ice melter. Salt should also be avoided since it promotes corrosion on metal nails, screws, and joist hangers, resulting in structural instability.

    3.Make Use Of A Broom

    Instead of breaking out the shovel for a small snowfall, use a brush. The gentle bristles will gently remove the snow from your deck without scratching it. Brooms also prevent nails and screws from being mistakenly removed from the deck, as can happen when shoveling. Shovels, brooms, ice-removal chemical solutions, and snow blowers should all be kept in a convenient location in your home.

    4.Shovel

    When there’s a lot of snow, it’s time to get the shovel out. As previously noted, most decks can withstand roughly three feet of snowfall before being struc

  • Best Way To Remove Snow From A Flat Roof Top
    Jul 16 2023

    Hello to our wonderful audience!

    Thank you for joining us at Safe Paw, where we strive to provide you with the latest insights and tips for a safe and enjoyable winter. We're excited to dive into the world of ice melt safety and share our expertise to help you create a secure environment for your loved ones.

    Today's focus is Best Way To Remove Snow From A Flat Roof Top

    One of the most popular styles of roofing is a flat roof. It works equally well for commercial and residential buildings. They are easier to build than other roof styles but need maintenance and upkeep if not done correctly.

    Why Flat Roofs Are Gaining Popularity?

    Flat roofs are popular in homes and businesses because they are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and fashionable. They’re less difficult to install than other types of roofing. However, when exposed to external elements such as changing weather, they are prone to cracks and leaks. Heavy snowfall and ice present additional challenges for your roofing that must be addressed quickly to avoid damage to your structure. You can keep your property safe this winter. With proper planning and maintenance by using a safe ice melter for the roof.

    You may already be aware that ice melt damages concrete. The sad thing is that most of the ice melt out there has harsh chemicals in their blend and they can easily damage your roof as well. Therefore you must use a safe ice melt.

    Here Are The Best Ways To Remove Snow From A Flat Rooftop.

    1. Shoveling

    The best part of having a flat roof is that it is easy to clear the snow. Unlike roofs with shingles that need special soft shovels to remove excess snow buildup, flat roofs use ice melt and regular shovels. Of course, you must remember to remove all the snow before using any ice melt. 

    1. Ice Melt

    It is important to note that ice melt damages the concrete. Therefore choose an ice melt that is non-toxic and chemical-free.

    By reducing the freezing point of water, ice melts effectively melt snow and ice. But salt-based ice melts can be nearly as corrosive on flat rooftops as they are on concrete and asphalt pavements.

    A chloride-free and eco-friendly ice melt like Safe Paw is a non-toxic and non-corrosive alternative to salt-based ice melt. It dissolves ice, relieves stress on a flat roof, and channels drainage.

  • Common Causes Of Asphalt Driveway Damage.
    Jul 15 2023

    Hello everybody!
    Welcome to Safe Paw, your ultimate resource for all things related to ice melt safety and more. We're excited to have you here and share valuable insights and tips on how to keep your pets, kids, home, and concrete surfaces safe during the winter months.

    In today's episode, we're going to discuss Common Causes Of Asphalt Driveway Damage.

    Winter is finally here, and we all have started preparing for it. From festivals to holidays to the snow; the wait is almost over.

    If you’re a responsible homeowner who takes care of the snow deposits around your house, then this article is for you. In this article, we will discuss the biggest threat to your asphalt driveway and what you can do about it.

    You might be using rock salt for your driveway, thinking that it won’t harm it in any way, but the fact is, it does.

    Should You Use Rock Salt on Asphalt Driveways? Is it Harmful?
    You may already know that rock salt is nothing but sodium chloride. It is highly corrosive and can damage unsealed asphalt. This is because rock salt accelerates the normal deterioration because of the freeze/thaw cycle in the winter season. This, in turn, shortens the lifespan of the asphalt.

    Although a well-maintained asphalt driveway is less prone to salt damages, if you’ve not been able to take proper care of your driveway in the past, then chances are that salt will cause irreparable damages to your driveway. Proper maintenance includes repair of cracks, adding a seal coating, and fixing any water penetrations.

    Let's check what are alternatives to Rock Salt?
    So now that you know that rock salt is dangerous for your asphalt driveway, don’t you think you should use an alternative? Here are the top alternatives to rock salt.

    1. Ice Melts
    You must have started looking for a safe pet ice melt. Most of the ice melt solutions in the market are chemical compounds. Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are the main ingredients of most ice melt compounds. ​​

    2. Magnesium chloride snowmelt is effective to -10 degrees but also refreezes quickly. It can cause corrosive damage on asphalt and concrete, as well.
    The crux of the matter is that calcium chloride and magnesium chloride ice melt do work in sub-zero temperatures, but there can be consequences for your driveway.

    3. Safe Paw is an ice melt that is 100% safe, easy to use, and affordable. To use it, all y

  • 4 Ways To Keep You From Slipping This Winter
    Jul 14 2023

    Hi listeners!

    We're thrilled to have you tuning in to Safe Paw, your go-to destination for all your ice melt safety needs. Whether you're a pet owner, a parent, or simply someone who wants to create a safe environment, we've got you covered with expert advice, practical tips, and eco-friendly solutions.

    Welcome to today's session, where we'll be shedding light on 4 Ways To Keep You From Slipping This Winter.

    If you live in a high snowfall region, then you know what it takes to maintain a snow-free driveway or steps without damaging the concrete or asphalt. Maybe rock salt is your go-to solution, but you need to be careful with it. Although it is a popular choice, it’s not the best way to melt the ice. In fact, it’s one of the most damaging options you can choose. Therefore, to save you from its damaging consequences, we have discussed four safe ways to prevent dangerous slip and fall accidents.

    Before we talk about the four ways to make your driveway less slippery, let us talk about why you should stop using rock salt immediately. Using salt to melt ice, pits the cement used for our walkways, steps, and other concrete areas. Once the cement pits, it will eventually crack or cause potholes in your surface. Salt, when it comes in contact with metal in your patio furniture, can corrode and rust it. Moreover, salt is slightly acidic, and the acidity breaks down the chemical bonds essential for the concrete’s strength. Another thing that makes the situation worse is that most concrete in driveways is reinforced with steel. And salt corrodes steel.  

    4 Ways To Keep You From Slipping This Winter

    1- Add traction

    You can use sand, kitty litter, or any other traction agent to add friction and prevent slipping. By adding traction, you can immediately access the road or sidewalk. Using traction agents helps, but you may still have to clean the driveway post melting of the ice as it may stick to the bottom of your shoes and create a mess. 

    2- Seal the concrete

    When the water seeps through cracks, pores, and crevices in the concrete, the real damage happens. As the temperature drops again, the seeped water refreezes and exerts more pressure on the top surface. It results in the widening of gaps. Covering the cracks with a sealant prevents the moisture from getting in.

    3- Use a good ice melt for concrete

    The best way to make sure that your concrete doesn't crack and develop flakes is by using a drivew

  • 5 Types Of Ice Melt And Their Pros And Cons
    Jul 13 2023

    Hello everybody!

    Welcome to Safe Paw, your ultimate resource for all things related to ice melt safety and more. We're excited to have you here and share valuable insights and tips on how to keep your pets, kids, home, and concrete surfaces safe during the winter months.

    In today's episode, we are going to talk about 5 Types Of Ice Melt And Their Pros And Cons.

    Understanding the differences between various types of ice melt products can make a big difference in how effectively you can reduce the quantity of snow and ice around your structure. Although rock salt is the most widely used and recognized de-icer, there are other formulae and solutions that can be more effective in particular circumstances. 

    Here are the five types of ice melt with their pros and cons.

    Type 1. Sodium Chloride Or Rock Salt

    It’s the most widely used de-icing agent. Even though it melts the ice, it is harmful to physical structures, materials, and ecosystems.

    It is not ideal for concrete that is less than a year old. It can damage your masonry and corrode the metal of vehicles and railings. Even small amounts of sodium chloride can seep into neighbouring soil, altering its composition and causing harm to grass and plants. It is also toxic to pets and can cause severe problems if ingested by them.

    Type 2. Amide Core With Glycol

    A modified crystalline amide core interleaved with glycol admixture is one of the most effective ice melts while being safe for people, pets, structure, and the environment.

    While breaking surface tension, the liquid component of this ice melt immediately begins melting ice. The crystal core present in the ice melt weakens the sticky snow by penetrating it. It causes the melting process to accelerate. 

    It leaves an invisible layer of protection that helps prevent ice from clinging to surfaces for three days. Due to the “Teflon” effect, it makes shovelling simpler.

    Safe Paw has the salt-free ingredients of amide core and glycol. As part of the Gaia enterprises, it shares its objective to produce items that uphold its commitment to a sustainable environment. 

    Type 3. Calcium Chloride 

    It emits heat while melting, allowing it to act more quickly than other de-icers. Like other chloride-based ice melts, it can also corrode metal. It can also destroy carpets and tiles, thus, damaging your internal floorings. It is less disastrous to plants but excessive use can harm them.

  • What To Use For Snow Melting And Cleaning A Flat Roof?
    Jul 12 2023

    Hello everybody!

    Welcome to Safe Paw, your ultimate resource for all things related to ice melt safety and more. We're excited to have you here and share valuable insights and tips on how to keep your pets, kids, home, and concrete surfaces safe during the winter months.

     In today's episode, we're going to discuss What To Use For Snow Melting And Cleaning A Flat Roof?

    Flat roofs are popular in houses because they are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and fashionable. They’re easier to install than other types of roofing. However, when exposed to external forces such as changing weather, they are prone to cracks and leaks. Heavy snowfall and ice provide additional issues for your roofing and can damage your structure. The best way to avoid such damage is by using a safe ice melt on roofs. Let’s learn more about what to use for snow melting and cleaning a flat roof.

    How Snow Damages Your Flat Roof?

    With no outlet for runoff, snow can pile on your flat roof. It can put undue strain on the construction of your building. 

    When the snow melts, water can seep into the crevices on your flat roof. It can compromise the structural integrity of your structure and should be cleared as soon as possible. 

    Leaks on a flat roof can be because of ponding water and the freeze-thaw cycle. Although they are gradual disorders, they are not simple to detect and can cause significant damage.

    What To Use For Snow Removal For Flat Roofs?

    1. Ice Melter For Roof

    By reducing the freezing point of water, ice melt effectively melts snow and ice. But salt-based ice melts can be nearly as corrosive on flat rooftops as they are on concrete and asphalt pavements. A chloride-free and eco-friendly ice melt like Safe Paw is a non-toxic and non-corrosive alternative to salt-based ice melt. It dissolves ice, relieves stress on a flat roof, and channels drainage. While you can fill stockings with the safe ice melt and lay them on the snow and ice after a storm, spreading a layer of non-corrosive ice melt on roofs before a storm is a preventative approach.

    1. Shovell It

    The least expensive way of snow removal is shovelling snow off a flat roof. Shovelling snow that is hard-packed or wet is not only difficult but also dangerous. Snow is heavy, and lifting the weight of the snow from the entire roof is difficult for a single person. More crucially, if a flat roof is already weakened by the weight of snow and
