How to get rid of traces of reagent on shoes?

Well, winter has come. And with it frosts, thaws, snowfalls.

And again this unpleasant word sounds – ice. And with it the injury rate of our population increases. Therefore, road transport services are forced to sprinkle roads with special chemicals.

To date, there are the following anti-icing agents.

 – modified calcium chloride (CCM), containing a corrosion inhibitor,

-Ammonium acetate modified “Antisneg” -1

– potassium acetate modified “Nordix-P” (are salts or esters of acetic acid).

– calcium chloride, inhibited by phosphates (CCF),

-Ismelt (HKNM),

– magnesium chloride modified “Biomag”

 – calcium, magnesium, urea nitrate (NKMM), technical salt – NaCl.

Such mixtures are good for saving when it is very slippery outside, but after that, ugly stains appear on the shoes.
