Myth Busting Snow and Ice Removal

It’s about that time of year again. Time to shovel up heaps of snow. Now, when it comes to clearing the heaps of fluffy ice from the roads, there are a lot of misconceptions involved.

Grayline Services LLC is here to talk about a few of those myths and clear out the misconceptions. So if you want to learn more, keep on reading!

• Chemical deicer does all the workEven professional snow cleaners can agree that chemical deicer is extremely effective. It’s one of the reasons why we’re always on the lookout for the best-quality deicing chemicals in the market.But that doesn’t mean that we won’t need other equipment. Shovels and even brooms can be handy in removing excess snow that chemical deicers won’t be able to break down.
• No such thing as too much deicer
  Chemical deicers are handy in snow removal and lawn management, but too much of it can end up in a goopy mess. So, even if you’re applying deicer yourself or asking your local snow services in Maryland to do it for you, you must keep in mind that moderation is key.
• Hot water does the trick
  Just because those ice cubes melt in the heat doesn’t mean that you can apply the same hot-vs-cold principle when dealing with snow. That’s a big “no-no”.

Hot water is still water, and once that hot water cools down because of the snow, you will be left with more ice. That’s why, if you are having trouble dealing with your icy roads, it’s better to call up a snow removal service in Silver Spring, Maryland.
