As winter blankets our surroundings with snow and ice, the battle against slippery sidewalks and driveways begins. While ice melt products help keep us safe, they can leave behind unsightly and potentially damaging mineral deposits on our floors and carpeting. Fortunately, there’s a solution that not only tackles the residue but does so effectively and environmentally – ES83 Haze Away from Enviro-Solutions®. ES83 is UL Ecologo certified green as well as UL Classified for slip resistance 18RL.
Understanding the Problem:
The Winter Culprit: Ice Melt Residue
Ice melt products are essential for preventing slips and falls during icy conditions. However, the aftermath often includes a less-than-welcome side effect – mineral deposits. These deposits, left behind as the ice melt dries, can mar the appearance of our floors and carpeting, leading to a dull, hazy finish that’s not only unappealing but can also compromise the integrity of the surfaces.
The Impact on Surfaces: Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits resulting from ice melt can be particularly problematic. The minerals, typically calcium, magnesium, and sodium, can accumulate over time, causing discoloration, deterioration, and even potential damage to flooring materials. Traditional cleaning methods may not be effective, and the need for a specialized solution becomes apparent.
Problem:
- Harsh weather is upon us. Ice conditions, snow, and slush
- Unsightly white, corrosive salt films and ice melter residue is tracking through their facilities, on all floor surfaces including carpets and matting.
- Entrance matting is generally inadequate and rental programs often fail to stop the problem at the door
- The risk of slip & fall is high, add the fact that workers are populating back to the workplace causing the risk to escalate
- With no additional labour or increased budget available maintaining flooring from built up salt residue may be a challenge

Comprehensive Maintenance: From Outside to Inside
To create a robust defense against salt build-up, it’s essential to implement a comprehensive maintenance strategy that covers both outside and inside areas of the building:
- Outside Maintenance: Regularly sweep and shovel snow from walkways and entrances. Apply deicing agents sparingly, and consider using alternatives like sand or gravel. Ensure that outside entrance mats are well-maintained and replaced if they show signs of wear.
- Inside Maintenance: Implement a routine cleaning schedule using ES83 Haze Away. Focus on high-traffic areas, especially those near entrances. Encourage the use of designated walk-off mats inside the building to capture any salt residue that may have made its way inside.
