What's the difference between salt and ice melter?
Is it just ice melter is more expensive, but works faster, works at a lower temperature, and safer for pets?
edit:
Salt also does not work (or not effective) at melting ice when it gets below 0? But if you shovel frequently, would salt be more than enough to keep your sidewalks clear?

Princess Auto has mini shovels on sale for $6.99 (here in Kelowna anyways, are their sales chain-wide?), good for tossing in your trunk in case you get stuck.

But if you shovel frequently, would salt be more than enough to keep your sidewalks clear? | Salt stops melting ice when temperatures reach below a certain point (10 to 15 degrees below zero). Ice melter works when salt becomes ineffective. - 40 or something ridiculous like that.
The danger with salt is, it will melt shit then the water will refreeze when temperatures drop further. There are all kinds of mixtures out there that do different things. I'm no chemist, so you'll just have to read what's on the package, as far as effectiveness goes. I've always trusted Alaskan Ice Melt, but there are other brands out there. Anyway, that's about all I know. Just answered because nobody else was posting. Where's godwin when you need him, eh?

The roads just outside Merritt looked like someone literally dumped tar on them (only the slow lane though, odd). Had to use the pressure washer to try and get most of it off

But the brine they use is far less corrosive, so I'm fine with doing an extra car wash or two every month if it means I have less frame and component rust to worry about.
