My fault for not reading it very well I guess. I read it over and over, but some reason, I still thought it melted ice. It DOES NOT MELT ice or snow. It does however, provide great traction on it. We've had a lot of ice lately, and I was very concerned about my grandparent's who live next door. They are in their early 90's, and the wooden ramp is quite steep. Steep for me, so I know it is for them. I was looking for something that was safe on the wood, and also would keep them from falling or slipping on it. So far, this has helped to keep that from happening.

Definitely use salt or some other safe solution for melting the ice or snow, in addition to this. When the salt melts away, this is still left behind. Not a bad thing at all. You can either leave it where it is, or sweep it up, and sprinkle it back down again. I did find myself using more than it says though. Overly cautious I guess, but I'd rather be safe than have someone fall and get hurt. Especially, my elderly grandparents who could very easily break a hip or something.

I love that it can be re-used, and can also be a supplement to the soil or garden bed. No waste here! So, sweep it back up, and sprinkle it again. Save it for another time, for sure. I try to buy all natural items whenever possible, especially since I have chemical sensitivities, and what I put on our walks, steps, and ramps is just as important as other products we use. At least this is reusable, and safe for pets, and wildlife.

Every time we get a mid-winter melt here in lovely Maine my driveway turns into a skating rink. Just a little of this stuff and no traction problem whatsoever. I can't believe how little it takes to turn a slippery patch into a safe walking area. Haven't had to try it yet for giving my car some traction but I am betting it would help. I can really recommend this.

I my Love EcoTraction ET9RB All-Natural Volcanic Mineral Ice. It is safe for pets & concrete.
I have been using it since 2011 and I'm very happy with how it works. I get 3-20 lb bags every year.
It's different then ice melt as it gives a traction. It's similar to driving on a gravel road verses a tar road on a slippery day. This embeds itself in ice & snow to give you grip. If you shovel and throw it in the grass it will feed the grass because it's a mineral. I have cats so I needed something very safe because they lick their paws. In the Spring when the snow melts and your sidewalk is dry, JUST SWEEP IT UP.... Put it in a container for next winter. Make sure it's dry... My sidewalk is 60 feet long and I normally sweep up about 20 -30 lbs in the Spring. What a nice saving.... I hope this helps.
Fast delivery Super product...

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it claims
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022
We have wood deck and steps around front and rear doors and they can get incredibly slippery. Salts aren't great for the wood, and with a lot of animal traffic (pets of ours/neighbors, and wildlife) we worry about injury from chemicals. This product works as claimed, providing real traction wherever you put it, on both shoveled hard surfaces, as well as on thick packed snow and ice where salt melts wouldn't stand a chance. The downside is that the granules can eventually be covered by additional snowfall, with resulting loss of traction -- whereas salts would likely melt subsequent snow, within reasonable temperature ranges. You may end up clearing off the new snow as well as the granules you put down, requiring you to put down more replacement granules. Fortunately a little goes a long way; but the real concern is that you have to be vigilant and not rely on this product to keep things safe when you're not able to stay on top of the situation.

This is a superior product and does exactly what it is said to do. Of the age when you worry about falling and breaking your hip? You can EcoTraction before you as you walk, to make sure that you do not slip. Best, it does not pollute or poison your lawn or garden and is safe for your pets. It can actually be added to potting soil, to increase moisture retention. It's a GREAT product. I highly recommend buying the 10 lb container with spout and a 20# bag to refill the lighter container. Works well.

Love that it remains on the sidewalk after the snow melts so it’s there for the next snow before I get home.
Expensive but it does last and is reuseable

Found out I can buy it for half the price from Granger only after I received it. They want $13 to ship it back it's not realy worth it at that point. I should have searched harder. Lesson learned.
