❄️ 1. De-Ice Frozen Door Locks & Windows (Emergency Fix)
How it works: Salt lowers the freezing point of water.
What to do:
Mix 1 part salt + 2 parts warm water in a spray bottle.
Spray on frozen locks or windows to melt ice quickly.
⚠️ Don’t pour dry salt directly on paint or metal—it can cause corrosion over time.
🛞 2. Temporary Traction Aid for Stuck Tires
How it works: While sand or cat litter is better, salt can add slight grit on icy patches.
What to do:
Sprinkle salt in front of or behind stuck tires to help melt ice and improve grip.
⚠️ Not ideal long-term—salt melts ice but leaves a wet surface; use only if nothing else is available.
