snow removal in Salt Lake City

Whether it’s shoveling, snow blowing, or scraping, it can be a daunting and exhausting task. But don’t worry, we have some tips and tricks to make snow removal easier and more fun. Here are some of the best hacks to survive snow removal in Salt Lake City.


Hack#1: Use cooking spray on your shovel and snow blower

One of the most annoying things about snow removal is when the snow sticks to your shovel or snow blower. This can slow you down and make you work harder. To prevent this, you can spray some cooking spray on your shovel or snow blower before you start. This will make the snow slide off easily and save you time and energy. Just remember to wipe off the cooking spray before you store your tools back in the garage.



Hack#2: Make your own ice melt with household ingredients

Sometimes, you may run out of ice melt or rock salt when you need it the most. But don’t panic, you can make your own ice melt with some common household ingredients. All you need is 1 teaspoon of dish soap, 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol, and 1/2 gallon of water. Mix them together in a bucket and pour the solution where you need it. This will help melt the ice and prevent it from refreezing.


Hack#3: Use your leaf blower to remove light snow

If you have a leaf blower, you can use it to remove light, fluffy snow from your driveway, sidewalk, or car. This can be faster and easier than using a shovel or a broom. Just make sure you don’t use it on wet or heavy snow, as it may damage your leaf blower or cause a mess.


Hack#4: Cover your car with a tarp or a fitted sheet

If you hate scraping ice and snow off your car, you can save yourself some trouble by covering your car with a tarp or a fitted sheet before it snows. This will protect your car from the snow and ice, and make it easier to remove them. All you have to do is pull off the tarp or the sheet and shake off the snow. Your car will be ready to go in no time.


Hack#5: Have some fun with snow removal

Snow removal doesn’t have to be boring or miserable. You can make it more fun by adding some humor and creativity to it. For example, you can:

  • Write a message or draw a picture in the snow

  • Make snow angels or have a snowball fight

  • Reward yourself with a hot drink or a treat after you finish


Conclusion

Snow removal can be a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be. By following these hacks, you can make snow removal easier and more enjoyable. Remember, snow removal is not only good for your home, but also for your health and mood. So don’t let the snow get you down, embrace it and have some fun. Happy Hump Day!
