<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: When Use Properly, Damage Is Unlikely
Correctly used ice melt will help you avoid risk for injury and will not cause damage to wood surfaces. If you've cured and protected your wood surface before bad winter weather starts, the potential for damage is even smaller.
On the Other: Unattended Rock Salt Can Cause Damage
If you leave stronger ice melts unattended on wood surfaces for an extended period of time, they can cause lasting damage to wood. Using a less potent ice melt strictly to the manufacturer's specifications will prevent any damage to wood surfaces.
Bottom Line
Most ice melts will not cause damage to wood surfaces when used properly. In order to prevent damage to wood surfaces, make sure to closely follow the instructions provided.
