I was not sure if I had enough for our large drive, but there was more than enough in the one bag and it really cleared the ice very quickly.

Amazing!! you put this stuff down on your drive or path either before or after snow or frost and due to the miracle of physics it actually prevents snow from sticking on your driveway!!!
Unbelievable, I think I'll tell all my friends.
Unfortunately though, when you get to the bottom of the bag you have to buy more.

The product did as it said it would, so am delighted with this purchase. Light enough to cart around and large enough to apply several days worth over large driveway. Would buy again without hesitation if weather turns for the worse again.

I am very much into saving money. I bought this salt to put onto my fish and chips as and when I buy them which is most Friday or Saturday evenings.
I am most satisfied. Thankyou.

Its salt it melts ice and snow what more can I say.
It ROCKs.
The lamp touch faux is a fantasic thing touch and it ciomes on low touch it and it steps up to medium touch it again and it goesto full power great for in the childs bedroom or adults if you like to sleep with a light on . BUT it soon goes faulty I have had four one on each side of the bed and I have had to replace it twice because it became faulty ie would not switch off.

As rock salt goes, this is pretty awesome. It melts frost, snow AND ice. You can even through some on your drive before it snows to stop the snow settling (up to a point!).
No need to waiver - buy this rock salt.
Sodium Chloride doesn't get any better than this.

I found once the bags were open it went very damp and stuck together went getting a handful. Very disappointed, when I bought Hanson rock salt in 2011 and it stayed dry, lasted the whole of the winter. Don't know if the white bags were Hansons, because there was no manufactures no name address or anything on the bag.
Would not recommend anyone to buy the rock salt. I bought the bags at Winterhill Milton Keynes.

Having bought 2 bags I have used 1 bag for my front paths, parking space, 6ft x 12ft area, and outside the front, outside the back door making a small path for the cat to use.
At soon as the snow hit the path it didn't melt the snow, has just left a sandy gritty mess. I've had to clear the snow 3 times and re applied the rock salt. On the 3rd attempt to clear the snow I had to start on the 2nd bag. When i opened it it was all wet and cloggy!!
When I bought the bags they were in white bags no manufactures name or anything on it.
I was told by the team leader it was Hanson Rock Salt, as last year I bought 2 bags and lasted me the whole of the winter!!!!!!
