- 1). Spray the concrete surfaces with warm water to neutralize and dissolve as much salt as possible. To prevent icing, wait for a warm, sunny day so the moisture will evaporate and not freeze on the concrete. If waiting for a warm day isn't practical, brush off as much of the liquid as possible after cleaning the cement. A thick, absorbent mop will also be effective in removing excess moisture. There are also cleaners for salt meant to be used in sub-zero temperatures.
- 2). Scrub the concrete thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove stubborn salt debris. Continue scrubbing and spraying the concrete surface until you're confident that the surface is clean.
- 3). Repeat this process as often as possible throughout the winter to prevent long term damage to your concrete floors and walkways.
