How to Clean Ice off a Sidewalk Colorado

Steps

1. Get a bucket of sidewalk salt and carefully sprinkle a path to the sidewalk with it.[1]
2. Carefully walk to the sidewalk, and try and get to some snow, or ground. Just try to stay off the ice.
3. Once at the sidewalk, spinkle salt in an S pattern, and put about one tablespoon per square foot (manufacture recommended).
4. Once you have firm footing on some ice, use a hoe and scrape away the ice.
5. Do not leave the broken ice on the sidewalk, push it into snow, grass, or the road.
6. Once all the ice is gone, layer the sidewalk again with another thin layer of sidewalk salt.
7. You may need to repeat this regularly until the frost is completely gone.
