Whenever the snow starts falling and accumulating on your driveway, it's a given that your driveway will get slippery. As the temperatures continue to drop, the snow will get packed in. But that doesn't mean that your driveway has to be impossible to get out of with a little help from salt, kitty litter or sand.
The Best Ways To Use Salt, Kitty Litter And Sand
Salt and sand are the best options for spreading across the driveway, with salt having the ability to melt ice and providing strong traction on top of it. Sand may be a better choice, though, because it's cheaper and provides just about as much grip. Also, salt can corrode vehicles if it gets under them or is spilled in the trunk, whereas sand does not.
Kitty litter is another option which is less expensive than salt but a little more expensive than sand. It's not corrosive, but you shouldn't spread it over your driveway because it can smell and absorb water and create even more slippery conditions. It's best used for an emergency situation where you need to dump it under the wheels and get them going.
