Entry Chloride-Free, Non-Toxic, Liquid Snow and Ice Melt Certified Safe for Pets, Plants, Floors, Concrete, Sidewalks, and Metal for Residential or Commercial Use (1 Gallon)

Works great. Spray using a sprayer before a snow/ice storm on the walkways and keeps the snow / ice away. Even worked when we sprayed 2 days before the storm! Of course it doesn’t work well for heavy snow accumulation but but light snow, ice, works great

12/18/18: First test on light overnight icing (dusting of snow fell on still-warm surfaces) in Mass., 23 degrees, sprayed on shoveled-off concrete walks & steps with fan tip at package rate. Only the very lightest traces of ice melted right away, but anywhere over a trace the ice just got granular and somewhat less slippery. Waited a half hour and had to apply more to break up the ice for traction but it still never melted/removed it. Crunchy granules of ice remained most of the day (below 30 degrees for a high), and even in sunlight the concrete barely dried (sublimation) before sundown. Ice still fills the expansion joints in the walks as night (14 degree low coming) falls.CaCl would have been far messier tracking indoors, where this was very neat (just wet footprints, mopped away easily.) But at 2x-3x the cost, taking far longer to work, and never yielding the just-wetness-left safety of CaCl, I won't be reordering.I still have half the jug to experiment with another time. More news to come, but only 2 stars for now (and that's a mercy star, because some folks might value the lack of tracking inside more than I do.) I was hoping for a miracle but so far this isn't it.If Branch Creek has any advice or questions, I'm game to discuss below.Update, 1/8/19: Finally had a chance to try this as a pre-treat, with dry surfaces in the upper 20's but light snow/freezing drizzle expected last night. Gave one concrete walk a good spray of this, ~1.5x the directed rate; another I gave a good scattering of CaCl chips to; and a blacktop walk I rock-salted. 1/4" snow fell a few hours later, and at dawn all 3 areas were equally safe and just wet at 27'F. The only difference would be no tracking with this, but I also achieve that 99% of the time with CaCl by paying attention to how much precipitation is expected and at what temperatures, and being very judicious and even with my applications. I was satisfied with how Entry did as a pre-treat this time so I will add a star. Still about 3 quarts left, and given the success with it last night I am debating re-ordering. I'll have opportunities to use the rest of it this winter and report back.1/30/19, final review update: Had concrete clean & dry at 20 degrees, was expecting white-out 'flurries' for ~1" in 20 minutes with a windy drop to ~0'. Pre-treated the right half of our front entry walk with a moderate scattering of CaCl chips, and the left I saturated beyond specification with the last of this Entry product. As soon as the snow started the Entry side stayed merely wet, while the CaCl chips were still starting to dissolve and get to work (and thus were tracked in.) So Entry wins? Not so fast! ~ 10 minutes later we'd gotten about a half inch of snow, and the chips had dissolved and were working great (walk was merely wet), but the Entry-treated side was already overwhelmed and starting to become glare ice in spots! A few minutes more observing proved this, and I had to apply CaCl on the Entry side to keep it safe. The rest of the squall saw me applying more CaCl to both sides several times, it was so cold and snowing so fast.tl,dr: So in summary, does this stuff have a niche roll to play in grounds maintenance? Yes, in some very limited situations, if you really know just how to use it and when & how to count on it, and at a $/M^2 cost that is not made up for by saving your interior from tracked CaCl or NaCl. Might be worth having some on hand if you're going to learn all that; otherwise, pass. Sorry, Branch Creek, Entry just isn't ready for prime time yet.

This is LIQUID (issue #1) and does NOT come with a sprayer (issue #2).

I found it easy to apply, and it quickly melted thin ice. It is not going to work well on thick ice and snow, but works as advertised, and is cheaper than some other products.

This works great, as long as you’re willing to keep a ton on hand. 1 gallon lasted 2 weeks just using it on a 20x20 slab spaying around cars. Good product, not worth the money.

Ice on the sidewalk

This is the wonderful product I did quite a bit of research because I have metal steps and my landlord did not want Salt Rock put on the steps. Because he just put me a new set of metal steps in because the Salt Rock had eaten the previous ones away. So I researched and found this product and it worked wonderfully for the ice that was on my steps. I have to go to work early in the morning and I come home late at night so I'm very concerned about slipping on the steps I will put this product on my steps as a pretreat, and I found that I did not have to worry about ice being on my steps when I arrived home late at night the ice would be melted. And I have hardwood floors and it did not track or damage my hardwood floors. Great product if you're looking for something as an alternative to Salt Rock.

Works great. Does as advertised.

I learned that British Columbia uses Entry on their highways so I thought that I'd try it. I've been struggling for 5 winters to keep my stepping stones clear of snow and ice build up - here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This year has been different. Since trying this product I've found that my deck doesn't build up frost and ice after 2 applications (3 weeks apart) and the stepping stones are clear of ice and snow and easily kept clean with just blowing off fresh snow fall. If it snows we and heavily overnight I found that the snow doesn't stick to the surface of my deck and becomes easy to remove with a broom or shovel. If wet snow starts to build into ice, I apply Entry and it melts the snow building up within a minute or so after application. It's more expensive than other products but doesn't harm my cedar deck surface and doesn't harm my lawn around the stepping stones. Other potassium salt-type products which say they don't harm lawns and trees are falsely advertised... as I found out last year. I had to re-seed my lawn around the stepping stones.

trouble is this is the first year with almost no snow and very little ice , i usually go through 50 kg of ice melting salt , figured this would be easier to use with a sprayer , guess i'll update next year . better to be prepared

Waste of money. This product never melted any ice or snow that I was trying to remove from the concrete porch and driveway.

Product does not work. You pour on ice and it just freezes on top of ice.

Way smaller than I thought. For the amount you get, not worth the money paid
