Moreover, what is the fastest way to melt snow?
In a bucket, combine a half-gallon of hot water, about six drops of dish soap, and ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol. Once you pour the homemade ice melt mixture onto your sidewalk or driveway, the snow and ice will begin to bubble up and melt. Just keep a shovel handy to scrape away any leftover pieces of ice.
- Use a shovel to move as much snow as possible into sunny areas of your property.
- Apply sand to snow to make it melt quickly, as sand absorbs moisture and provides traction.
- Use an electric ice-melting outdoor blanket over your lawn to quickly melt snow without worrying about sand piles.
Also to know is, what do you use to melt snow?
Grab a bag, box, jar or bottle of one of these alternative ice and snow melting supplies instead.

Add 2 cups of white vinegar in the mixture, and stir it well. Pour the mixture in a sprayer and spray it on the snow, which you want to melt. It will help you deice your sidewalks and walkways. Also, it does not allow new buildup of snow.
