Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 If you’re looking for a salt spreader or de-icer, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

• Are you spreading salt on a road, on an airfield, in a parking lot, or on a walkway?
• Product Rating. Salt spreaders and de-icers are rated according to how durable they are. A higher-rated product will be more durable.
• Capacity. How much salt are you spreading? A single-cell de-icer is 4.2 lbs., whereas a 6-cell de-icer is 26 lbs.
• Weight. Weight is mostly related to portability and ease of use. If portability isn’t an issue, most salt spreaders and de-icers will be light enough to carry.
• Salt Type Required. The salt type required varies by application. If you’re spreading salt on a road, you should be using rock salt. If you’re spreading salt on an airfield, you should be using regular salt. If you’re spreading salt on a parking lot, you should be using fine-grade salt.

How to choose De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 When the weather turns cold, it’s important to make sure that your car is winter-ready. For many, this means stocking up on snow-melting salt spreaders, de-icer fluid, and a scraper.

Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid are two of the most essential winter car products. When shopping for these products, it’s important to do your research. Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid come in a variety of forms, including granules, liquid, and sprays.

Sprinkle salt on icy patches. If you’re dealing with icy patches, sprinkle salt on the shortest route that a car would take to travel, according to Consumer Reports. Using salt as a de-icer will help keep the ice from accumulating longer.

Remove snow. After you’ve sprinkled salt on icy patches, it’s important to remove snow that has accumulated on your car’s roof, windows, and doors. Consumer Reports recommends using a scraper or snow brush to do this.

Use liquid or spray de-icer. De-icer fluid comes in liquid or spray form, according to Consumer Reports. Spread liquid de-icer fluid on icy patches (it has a lower freezing point than snow so that it won’t melt the ice). Spray de-icer on snow.

Apply ice-melting spray. Apply ice-melting spray to snow-covered areas. The spray melts the snow and keeps it from accumulating.

Clean salt spreader. After you’ve used salt spreaders and de-icer fluid, it’s important to clean them to avoid corrosion. Consumer Reports recommends using brake cleaner.

 

How to maintain De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 When caring for your salt spreader or de-icer, it’s important to make sure that you clean it properly after each use.

• Remove the salt: Before you begin cleaning your salt spreader or de-icer, first remove the accumulated salt. If the salt is hard to remove, use coarse salt or kosher salt to remove most salt buildup.
• Clean the salt spreader or de-icer: Fill your sink with warm, soapy water and add your salt spreader or de-icer. Use a toothpick or long-handled sponge to scrub the spreader or de-icer thoroughly.
• Remove excess salt: Rinse your salt spreader or de-icer thoroughly. If the salt remains stuck, soak it in warm, soapy water overnight, or soak it in a tray of baking soda and water for an hour, then rinse it.
• Dry the salt spreader or de-icer: Lay your salt spreader or de-icer on a towel to dry. To avoid rust, do not leave your salt spreader or de-icer exposed to the air.
• Store the salt spreader or de-icer: Store your salt spreader or de-icer in a place where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture.
