This method has several advantages:

• Coffee grounds create friction, which improves grip.
• This method is quite environmentally friendly.

To use coffee for de-icing, you simply sprinkle the coffee grounds on the cleaned surface. The coffee grounds will melt the ice and create a layer that will improve traction.

Here are some tips on how to use coffee for deicing:

• Use fresh coffee grounds as they have more acidity.
• Sprinkle the coffee on a clean surface to make it stick better.
• If the coffee does not melt all the ice, repeat the procedure.
