The key in utilizing safe ice melter is to follow the labeling directions to the letter. Those labels are there for a reason.
ice melt products have msds (material safety data sheets) included or available from the manufacturer. You should always follow the label on your ice melter.

It is also best to look for professional ice melt products that contain calcium chloride as these are less stressful on plants and grass.
