How Chemical Ice Melts Can Contaminate Indoor Play Areas.

Ah, winter. It rolls in with its frosty charm and suddenly, ice is everywhere – sidewalks, driveways, you name it. And then we've got to deal with it, right? Enter the heavy hitters of the ice melt world: chemical deicers like calcium chloride and rock salt. They get the job done, no question there, but at what cost?

Unseen Guests: Chemicals On Your Carpet

Picture this: You've just come back from a brisk walk, your boots coated with that trusty rock salt or calcium chloride. You stomp the snow off, but what you don't see is those chemicals playing stowaway, sneaking into your home. And where do they end up? Right where your little ones play, where your pets sprawl out for their afternoon nap. Not exactly the winter wonderland we want inside our homes, huh?

The Overzealous Friend: Calcium Chloride

Calcium chloride might melt ice faster than you can say 'freeze,' but it's like that friend who comes over and leaves their stuff everywhere. It's messy. Indoors, it can turn your play area into a no-go zone, leaving a slick, oily film behind. And it's not just messy – it can be corrosive. Think about that for a second: this stuff is munching away at your floors, your metallic door fixtures, and anything else it can get its gritty little crystals on.

The Not-So-Good Old Rock Salt

And good old rock salt, it's like that old habit we just can't shake. Sure, it's the budget-friendly option for beating ice, but it's about as gentle as a bull in a china shop. It's corrosive, it’s rough, and it leaves a chalky trail of white residue that's tough to clean up. Imagine your kiddo, crawling around, their hands picking up those grains, and then – yep, straight into the mouth. Makes you cringe, right?

Bringing The Outside In: A Contaminant Tale

Here's the thing – the shoes come off, but those chemicals don't. They hang around. They reach those places everywhere possible where our kids and fur babies spend their time. Sometimes your pets even lick their paw, so what they bring home they lick. Not a pleasant thought, is it?
