If it's not too cold (no colder than say -10 C / 15 F) you can use salt (road salt). This is effective because it will also help melt the ice. There are also chemical ice melters (in pellet form) available that work similarly to salt but are more expensive. Otherwise sand does a good job.
For example the city of Toronto uses a lot of road salt, but the city of Winnipeg, which is generall colder throughout the winter uses more sand.

Can you use hairspray on a balance beam to make it less slippery?
It is not recommended to use hairspray on a balance beam to make it less slippery. Hairspray can leave a residue that may actually make the surface stickier or even more slippery. Instead, consider using chalk or grip tape specifically designed for balance beams.
Do you use hot water to make an ice rink?
No, hot water should not be used to make an ice rink. Cold water freezes faster and results in a smoother ice surface. Hot water can also create weak spots in the ice, making it less safe for skating.

You can roughen the sole of the shoe by rubbing it against rough surfaces like concrete or using sandpaper to create more traction. You can also try applying a grip spray or grip pad to the bottom of the shoe to improve traction on slippery surfaces.
Can you use warm water to remove ice and snow?
Using warm water to remove ice and snow may cause refreezing and create more slippery conditions. It's better to use salt or ice melt to break up the ice and snow first, then shovel it away.

How can I make wood steps less slippery?
To make wood steps less slippery, you can add non-slip adhesive strips or apply a non-slip coating to the surface of the steps. Additionally, you can use a non-slip rug or mat on the steps for added traction. Regularly cleaning the steps to remove any debris or moisture can also help prevent slipping.
