How to Control Garage Slush

Snow can be beautiful or very aggravating, depending on where you live and how much of it you get. When snow starts to melt in an insulated or heated area, it forms slush. One of the most common places for this slush to build up is in your garage, where it can make the floor slick and hazardous as well as visually unappealing and cause water to run into areas where you don't want it. A few simple strategies can control the slush.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Sweep the snow out before it turns to slush whenever possible. A push broom is very effective for this.

   • 2

     Mop up any watery slush that couldn't be removed. The mop can be kept in a nearby bucket for quick access and frequent use.

   • 3

     Place a fan inside the garage. This will help dry up moisture. A fan will remove moisture even when water is frozen.

     Designate an area for snow-covered shoes. When you walk into the garage you can leave your shoes at the entrance, or remove most of the snow from them. A large rubber mat works well to remove the snow and is easy to clean afterward.
