• <div><p>While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.</p><p>However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar melt ice on driveways?

I am so pleased. They were professional, timely, as neat as a tree removal could expect to be. One of the easiest transactions in homeowner history ? Their price was more than fair and we will call on them again when the time comes to remove the remaining trees.
