    • 1). Do not use bleach on any outdoor surface other than cement or concrete without first checking with an expert, as bleach is corrosive.

    • 2). Cover any grass or plants around the icy surface that you wish to protect with tarps. Seal the edges by nailing them into soil, if you desire.

    • 3). Put on a pair of surgical gloves and protective goggles to protect against any splashing.

    • 4). Pour an even layer of bleach over the entire surface to be de-iced.

    • 5). Wait 30 minutes. The ice will dilute the bleach and this will cause an exothermic reaction, producing heat and melting the ice.

    • 6). Step carefully when walking on freshly cleared surfaces.
