Affordability
If you are looking for the most inexpensive ice melt solution, the winner would be traditional rock salt. Rock salt is widely popular due to its lower price, however it is less effective than more premium deicers. Rock salt can also be corrosive to the environment it is applied to, so make sure you are only applying the amount you need and are mindful of the surface underneath. If you have pets or lots of vegetation near your road surface, you may want to consider a different option, as rock salt can be harmful to both plants, animals, and any nearby vehicles.
