To reduce the risk of slipping on ice, it is recommended to treat the sole of the shoes with a mixture of alcohol and salt. This simple method increases the grip of the shoes on slippery surfaces.
The mixture creates a rough layer on the sole, improving stability on ice. A cotton swab is suitable for applying the solution. It can be used to evenly distribute the mixture even on a textured surface.
To prepare the mixture, combine medical alcohol or alcohol-based antiseptic with a small amount of salt. Then, soak the cotton swab in the solution and apply it to the dry sole. Wait about three minutes for it to dry completely.
The effect of the treatment lasts up to three weeks.
