If you haven't tried it out yet ... then what are you waiting for?

Magic Melt is an absolutely fabulous ice melter unlike most you'll ever see on the store shelf!  This product can be spread with a shaker bottle or a fertilizer spreader to ensure the product covers evenly.  You use a third of what you would normally use for other products you buy retail.  Anything more is a waste!

Shovel your walk or driveway as normal. Then sprinkle Magic Melt on any areas with a snow buildup or icey areas.  Keep it light - you don't need much!  One kernel of Magic Melt will melt up to 300 times it's size in snow or ice!  What happens is when it connects with ice or snow it creates a reaction that produces a heat!  This heat is very fast and hot.  It melts away even the most stubborn ice situations.  Heavier ice build ups may require an additional application.  But what you will really like is that the water created by the melt will not last long and it's gone - it does not refreeze and leave you another future ice patch to slip and fall on.  And it leaves an invisible film on your driveway or walk that makes shovelling even easier after the next snowfall!  It also helps prevent blowing snow from sticking as well.

And one of the best things is that when applied correctly it all disappears with the snow and ice!  Nothing left to track into your home or business!!

And it works to -40 degrees - just what we need for Saskatchewan winters!!  Most other products only work to -20 or -30!

Magic Melt can be applied to all concrete surfaces without worry of damaging your concrete when used properly.  Most rock salt and ice melt products can leave your concrete pitted and ugly. After a couple of years crumbling and an ice sore resulting in costly repairs or replacement.  They also risk major damage to nearby vegetation or will kill nearby grass and shrubs.  Magic Melt contains some extra help to promote regrowth of nearby vegetation so even if you over apply there is very little risk to vegetation.

And it is very pet friendly!!  Unlike rock salts that can burn or damage paws ...

You'll love what this product does to clean up that film created by cigarette smoke on the walls and ceilings - and the product works harder than you have to!  This can also be used in the bathroom on your sink, counter, toilet - inside and out, and bathtub or shower. And it leaves a very nice and lightly refreshing citrus scent in the air that smells of clean!

For the outside of your house, especially if you are near higher traffic streets, and get road splash or lots of dirt kicked up in the air that seems to just coat your home or garage.  Check out our Easy Kleen II degreaser.  A very safe and easy to use product - and concentrated so it goes a long way for your money.  Mix it with water in a pump up sprayer and lightly cover your hard nonporous surfaces.  Leave it sit for 3 to 5 minutes and then wash it off with your garden hose or pressure washer.  You'll be amazed at the results.  Really heavy buildups may require a heavier concentration or sometimes a brushing as well but try the easy way first.

Great! More Snow!! What a winter this has been!

With all the ups and downs of the weather, you need to be extra careful these days of the ice build up thats hiding under the fresh snow.  Why not try our fabulous sidewalk de-icer, Magic Melt, and save yourself from taking that unnecessary spill off your front step.

The name really does say it all when it comes to this product.  Keep those sidewalks clear and driveways safe with a light sprinkling of Magic Melt on those slippery spots after shovelling.  When Magic Melt comes in contact with ice or moisture, the contact creates an exothermic reaction that begins immediately generating heat, thus melting away the snow and ice.  It then forms an invisible barrier to keep more ice from accumulating on the surface.  This invisible barrier will also make it easier to remove the next round of build up that Mother Nature will undoubtably throw at us before spring arrives.

Our store also carries handy shaker bottles to help to evenly distribute the product over your problem areas.  Then watch as it magically disappears!

Another key point is that the product is pet-friendly and will not harm your grass or shrubs when used properly. And it won't damage your concrete, unlike many other products on the market can.

You will also appreciate how much money you will save as Magic Melt uses a third of what most alternatives need to get the job done right! And don't forget ... it's manufactured right here in Saskatoon minimizing it's carbon footprint too.

Pop in to the store today and get your Magic Melt before you accidentally have to make that extra trip to the doctor's office or see your chiropractor because of that next slip!

Cold. Snow. Ice.

Yes, it's another sunny day in Saskatchewan! Kids need hot chocolate, adults need car starters, and your sidewalk? Needs some shovelling.

So you ask, whats the best way to keep your walks ice-free this winter? How do you protect your noggin' so all you have to worry about is your depleting carton of egg nog?

As always the Expert is here for you.

Slaying Slippery Sidewalks:

1. Get the right tools for the job. The best shovels to use have a small blade and an ergonomic handle with a slight curve.

2. Take a stretch before you go outside. If you want to be warm, warm-up!

3. Push the snow as you shovel. It's easier on the back than lifting it out of the way.

4. If snow is sticking to your shovel blade, spray it with cooking oil.

5. The sooner you move the snow, the less chance it will have to pack down and create ice.

6. When using Magic Melt on problem icy areas:

                    a) Use a shaker! It 'll do a much better job of dispersing the granules than pouring it straight on. It'll save you money, and do a better job.

                    b) Apply the granules in small dosages. It takes time for the product to have it's full effect. Use a little bit and then come back. You may be surprised.

                    c) You can stop the ice before it forms! In problem spots leave some Magic Melt for next time, so there isn't a next time.

Keep warm out there! Happy Movember! And here are some links to keep busy until next time.
