# How to Care for a New Driveway With Ice Melt
When learning how to care for a new driveway with ice melt, consider several important factors. While prevention and shoveling are the best methods for removing snow and ice from your driveway, if the ice builds up overnight, you will need to take more extreme measures. Avoid using salt on your new driveway because it can corrode and damage your new concrete or asphalt.

1
Purchase an ice-melting product that doesn't contain sodium chloride, or rock salt. As an example, IceClear is an organic product that safely melts ice without using sodium chloride.

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when applying the ice-melting product. IceClear and other non-sodium chloride ice-melting products can be used to prevent ice from forming, so you can spread the product around your new driveway before the next big ice storm hits.

Use a bag of road sand to increase the traction on your driveway and prevent future ice buildups. Spread the sand liberally on your driveway.
