As winter is fast approaching, one has to start preparing for the sure snow that will be coming with it. As a smart driver, you always want to be prepared to make sure getting your vehicle in and out of the driveway is a safe and uneventful situation. The best way to do that is to put salt, sand or kitty litter down. Why do we recommend these substances for Grand Junction, CO commuters?
For many years, the one product that was the most commonly used to get a car unstuck was rock salt. This special salt does a great job at melting the ice and it will give your tires some good traction, however rock salt gets bought up quickly and can be expensive.
Sand also does a wonderful job at adding traction – perhaps even better than salt, although you won’t see it melt ice. You will see sand and salt laid down by the highway departments when a snow storm is on the way.
Did you know that kitty litter can also do the same thing as salt and sand, and it is easier to find and cheaper? Just sprinkle a bit around your wheels to gain traction. Don’t forget to clean up your mess afterward!
