Winter has begun across much of the United States, and as we try to clear our driveways and walkways of the beautiful yet dangerous snow and ice, there are often questions of what product to use, when to use it, how to apply it, and so on. Wouldn’t it be nice to wave a magic wand and have it just disappear??
Well… you can. But more on that later. Today we’re kicking off a multi-part series on how to beat ice and snow called “Winning in a Winter Wonderland!” We’re starting by talking about the Bare Ground’s MagPlus liquid ice melt and how it’s not just for after the storm!
A USDA BioPreferred product, MagPlus is environmentally friendly Magnesium Chloride blended with a corn-based corrosion inhibitor that is safe on all surfaces and around pets and plants, making it a popular choice for families with pets and beautiful landscapes. As a liquid ice melt, it is water soluble, and keeps melt water in a liquid state longer than granular ice melt products. In addition to its extremely effective and gentle nature compared with other products, MagPlus is also a multi-use liquid ice melt.
In the hours before a snow or ice storm begins, MagPlus can be applied to a bare surface which creates a non-stick surface. The application of the mist makes for an easier removal of ice and snow, and helps maintain safer grounds and walkways. This particular use of MagPlus is awesome in areas that remain extremely cold for long periods of time.
Once the storm begins, MagPlus can be used at any time to reduce the accumulation of the event by up to as much as 3”. The impact with this application depends on the level of humidity present in the snowfall and the ambient outdoor temperature. For example, increased water content in heavier snow can inhibit the reduction effect of MagPlus, where the coldest snowfall temperatures with very low water content in the snow will see greater reduction in accumulation. Regardless of the snow’s moisture level, if the snow storm overpowers the reduction effect, the application of MagPlus maintains it’s non-stick qualities for easier removal!
Once it has stopped snowing or depositing ice, Bare Ground MagPlus can be applied to remaining patches of snow and ice. This causes the patches to melt – even at low temperatures.
With its multi-stage use, effectiveness, and less harmful qualities, Bare Ground’s MagPlus is the clear choice for homeowners and businesses looking to protect their property, pets, and landscape when clearing snow and ice!
