The first step you can take to get rid of an icy sidewalk is to spinkle some salt. There are many different types of salt, and they are listed on Getridofthebad.com. Learn what is best for your surface, since over time the salts will degrade and eat away at concrete and asphault. Rock salt is the most common and can cover an average driveway for under $20. I recommend buying a scoop to distribute the salt otherwise your hands will chap due to the dry air.
Be careful not to pour any of this salt onto any types of wood. Many species of wood can deteriorate very quickly with the addition of salt, so to ensure the longevity of your wooden steps with ice on them, try not to sprinkle salt on them.
Another way to prevent your driveway or sidewalk from icing over would be to install a heated driveway. Obviously, this method is quite expensive and can only be installed when the driveway is being put in. If you already have slabs layed down, consider purchasing electric heating mats instead. They can be plugged into an outlet and will melt the ice within a few minutes to make your walk outside safer.
If you live in an environment where there is a copious amount of snow and ice, you may want to consider buying snow shoe attachments. Products like Yaktrax or Icers can be slipped on over your shoes and allow you to gain traction through spikes.
There are tons of other traction grit things to sprinkle over your ice problem, such as kitty litter or sand. Just remember that after the snow melts, the sand will be left in your yard or on your concrete. A great tip is to put some of this sand onto a cookie sheet, then place in your oven at 250 for 15 minutes. Thow it outside and the sand will melt your ice quicker.
