Junk!

27 days ago
I would not even give it a 1 star if I had a choice as it did not perform as indicated. This product actually made the ice worse by creating a thin layer of water on top of the ice instead of melting it through and through, like it indicated it would do.

It works!

28 days ago
It works—I’ve been using it for years. From what I understand, it’s a brine-type solution that seeps between the ice and the pavement, creating a thin barrier so the ice loosens and breaks off much more easily.

extremely overpriced and misleading label

29 days ago
I bought this because the usual Alaskan de-icer blue crystal salt like bags were sold out. I used it on a thin layer of ice on my stairs (7 steps) and about 5 meters of walkway. That took the entire bottle and 8 hours later, the layer of ice was still there and slipper as before. There is some really fishy marketing on this bottle, they advertise 4L covers 74 square meter but instructions say use 4L per 10 square meters. Do not waste your money on this.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: After applying the liquid ice melter, how long does it last before it has to be reapplied?

4 years ago
3 Answers
  • A: I've allays applied it when the dry weather has turned to freezing and/or when snow is in the forecast and always "Prior" to a snowfall or freezing rain... Applying the  Alaskan Ice "Preventer" Prior will "Prevent" the snow from sticking and then it forming any Ice for about 2 days. But... if/when I see the snow starting to stick, I will shovel or sweep the snow off and re-apply to prevent the snow from forming any Ice. I guess the trick is, is to Always apply it "Prior" to any snowfalls and/or "Prior" to when the weather turns to Freezing, but... Don't wait for it to snow and then apply it onto already fallen snow and expect it to melt the snow or melt already formed ice instantly.  Yes it can, and it will melt the already fallen snow and/or formed ice eventually, but it really is best to Clear the Snow First, then Evenly distribute the Alaskan Ice "Preventer", with its unique pouring spout, so that the ice doesn't get that chance to form! It's a "Preventer" and a little common sense will go a lonnng way...

Q: Is it safe for dogs?

4 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: We use the liquid near our doors for our dogs so they don’t track in salt chunks and because the Alaskan ice melter claims to be pet friendly. This is from their web site: “Alaskan Pet friendly Ice Melter is a salt-free ice melter designed to be gentle on paws and safe for pets. Contains zeolite for improved traction and provides immediate safety on icy surfaces. Effective to -11 °C (12°F).”

Q: Can you use this product on a wood deck?

  • Alaskan Consumer Service

    A: Hello Jawz, Alaskan Ice Preventer only can be used on wooden deck, according to the instructions for use. We recommend to test a section of wood and see what the results are. It is a liquid material with calcium chloride and sodium chloride, so it could leave salt stains, Thank you
