People are asking which is better for adding driveway traction: salt, sand or kitty litter? Well they are all going to do the job, but some products are better than others under different circumstances. Let the Phillips Auto Group of Bradley team help.
Salt will give traction and it melts ice in temperatures above 12 degrees, but when it dissolves in the water, it can become harmful to plants and animals. It is also the most expensive and hardest to find out of these three options. Sand is good for driveways. It creates traction and doesn't make a big mess or harm the environment. Sand is also cheap and really easy to find. Kitty litter does a wonderful job when vehicles get stuck. Many people keep some in their cars for emergency purposes. It gives traction when spread behind the tires and adsorbs excess water, but when kitty litter absorbs to much water, it becomes a sticky mess.
