To prevent slipperiness on indoor hard surfaces caused by snowmelt, slush, and residual deicer being tracked in, it is important to follow the directions on the product label for proper deicer use and avoid over-application, especially near entryways. Effective entrance mats should be used to absorb and trap snowmelt, slush, or residual deicer. Any residual deicer tracked onto hard floors should be cleaned up as soon as possible with warm, fresh water by wiping the surface with a mop or towel and drying it thoroughly. If a bucket is used for rinsing the mop or towel, the water should be changed frequently for best results.
