Q: How long does removal take?

• <div><p>Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.</p></div>

Q: Does rubbing alcohol get rid of ice?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.</p></div>

Q: Should you remove icicles from your roof?

• <div><p>It can be dangerous to remove icicles from your roof, so the best option is to treat the underlying issue instead, usually by ensuring proper insulation in your home. If you&rsquo;re concerned about immediate damage, you can hire a professional to remove the icicles and the snow accumulation on your home to prevent the issue from recurring. Just make sure you use a long-term solution, too, like addressing insulation problems or installing roof heating coils on your roof.</p></div>

Q: Can I use hot water to melt my driveway?

• <div><p>You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you&rsquo;re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there&rsquo;s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you&rsquo;ll want to keep the water away from your car.</p></div>
