Questions & Answers
Is it safe to put on a roof
Dear Trudy, Thank you for your question! Melt 50 lb. Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter is best used for concrete sidewalks, patios, and driveways, as it works effectively to melt ice even in extremely cold temperatures. We do not recommend applying it to a roof, as calcium chloride can potentially cause damage to shingles, metal fasteners, and gutters over time. If you have any other questions, feel free to call us at 866-225-9723, available every day from 9am to 5pm EST. We're happy to help! Best Regards, Customer Service Team at Shop Joe
Is this pet safe?
Dear Bailey, Thank you for your question about the Snow Joe MELT25CC Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter. While this product is highly effective at melting ice, it is not specifically marketed as pet-safe. Calcium chloride can irritate pets' paws and, if ingested, may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. For a safer option for your furry friends, we recommend our MELT20PET - 20-Pound Pet Friendly Premium Ice Melt, which is specially formulated to be safer for paws and pets while still providing excellent ice-melting performance. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at 866-225-9723. We’re available every day from 9 am to 5 pm EST and would be happy to help. Best Regards, Customer Service Team at Shop Joe
Labeling states CALCIUM CHLORIDE CRYSTALS yet this product contains anything other than calcium chloride (ie SODIUM,) why doe sthe label not say BLEND like other Snow Joe products?
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your concerns about the labeling of the MELT50CC - Melt 50-LB Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter. This product is advertised as containing calcium chloride crystals, and we strive to ensure all labeling is clear and accurate. If the product includes ingredients not specified on the label, such as sodium, this is something we take seriously and would like to investigate further. Please reach out to us directly at 866-225-9723, available every day from 9 am to 5 pm EST, so we can gather more details and address this issue promptly. Your feedback helps us improve, and we are committed to maintaining transparency and trust in our products.

Can I put down before it snows
Dear Louis, Thank you for reaching out! Yes, you can apply Snow Joe MELT Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter before it snows. Applying it ahead of time helps prevent the formation of ice and makes snow removal easier when it accumulates. We hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at our toll-free number, 866-225-9723, available every day from 9 am to 5 pm EST. We're happy to assist! Best Regards, Customer Service Team at Shop Joe
The SDS indicates it's Sodium Chloride 75.0-99.9%! That will damage any concrete driveway. There is hardly any calcium chloride, which is the safest for concrete. Seems deceptive. Can you explain?
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for bringing this to our attention and sharing your concerns about the product composition. We understand the importance of using a de-icer that is safe for concrete driveways, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for our Snow Joe MELT Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter (MELT25CC) reflects a range of potential compositions because of natural variations during production. While the primary active ingredient is calcium chloride, trace amounts of sodium chloride may be present. Sodium chloride can be a component in ice melt formulations, but we always aim to provide a product that effectively balances performance and surface protection. If you have further concerns or would like additional details about the product's composition, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 866-225-9723, available daily from 9 AM to 5 PM EST. We’re here to assist! Best Regards, Customer Service Team at Shop Joe
Can Snow Melt be used on asphalt driveways
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Melt 50 lb. Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter is safe to use on asphalt driveways when applied as directed. It effectively melts ice and snow while minimizing the risk of damage to your driveway. However, we recommend following the usage instructions on the packaging to avoid over-application, which can be harmful to surfaces over time. Avoid applying it on new concrete, as it can lead to surface deterioration, especially if the concrete hasn’t fully cured (at least 1 year). If you have further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out to us at 866-225-9723 (available daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST). We're happy to help! Best Regards, Customer Service Team at Shop Joe

Customers say this product, marketed as Calcium Chloride Crystals, is effective for melting ice and snow, with many appreciating its quick action and minimal damage to concrete surfaces. However, there are concerns regarding misleading labeling, as several users report that it contains a high percentage of sodium chloride, which can be less desirable for certain applications. The resealable bag feature is well-received, but some customers experienced issues with packaging integrity during delivery. Overall, while the product performs well in ice melting, clarity in labeling and ingredient composition is a common request among users.

Thank you for your detailed feedback regarding the MELT 50 lb. Resealable Bag Calcium Chloride Crystals Ice Melter. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Calcium chloride, while highly effective in melting ice and snow, can sometimes leave stains due to its chemical composition, particularly when used in certain environmental conditions or when in contact with surfaces such as concrete or stone. This is a common characteristic of many ice melters containing calcium chloride and salt. We recommend promptly sweeping or rinsing the treated areas to minimize any potential residue buildup.
If you have any further questions or concerns, or if there’s anything we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. You can contact us at 866-225-9723, available every day from 10am to 6pm EST. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to ensuring you have a positive experience with our products.
