How to Choose the Right Ice Melter for Your Property: Liquid vs. Granular
Winter doesn’t wait. Once snow and ice hit, your property can go from safe to slippery in no time. Choosing the right ice melter for your property can make all the difference in how effectively and efficiently you handle winter maintenance.
At Clean Spot, we carry top-performing ice melter products designed for every kind of job. Let’s break down the difference between the FS2000 liquid ice melter and the Firestorm granular ice melter, so you know exactly when to reach for each one.
Liquid Ice Melter: FS2000
Think of FS2000 liquid ice melter as your first line of defence. Instead of waiting for ice to form, this formula prevents it from bonding to the surface in the first place. You spray it before a storm, and it keeps sidewalks, stairs, and parking lots from turning into skating rinks.
When to use it:
- Before snow or freezing rain is expected
On large areas like commercial entryways, parking lots, and walkways
To reduce the amount of granular product needed later
Why it works:
FS2000 penetrates quickly, acting as both a de-icer and an anti-icer. It’s one of the most effective ice melter products for property managers, maintenance crews, and snow removal contractors who want to stay ahead instead of constantly chasing after ice. Plus, it’s efficient—less product waste, faster coverage, and dependable performance for anyone looking for a reliable ice melter for their property.
Granular Ice Melter: Firestorm
When the storm’s already hit, Firestorm granular ice melter is your go-to powerhouse. This high-performance product works quickly to melt thick layers of ice and packed snow. It’s tough enough for commercial properties but still safe for regular use on well-maintained surfaces.
When to use it:
- After snow or ice has already formed
On stairs, sidewalks, and tight spots that need traction
For post-storm cleanup or emergency response
Why it works:
Firestorm is engineered for fast action, even in extreme cold. Its granules stay put and continue working long after application, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas where you need quick results and dependable grip.
Which one should you choose?
The simple answer is to use both strategically. Start with FS2000 liquid ice melter before the storm hits to prevent ice from bonding to the surface and make cleanup easier later. Then, follow up with Firestorm granular ice melter after the storm to tackle any leftover ice or packed snow that needs extra power.
