luvacat3 repliedI use car wax on it. That would probably be the longest lasting treatment of all & usually does last me all winter (and I live in central MN so the snow season is december thru the end of march).

happee1 repliedWD 40...or any silicone spray..

don't ya just love to shovel snow especially when it sticks to the shovel and weighs 2 tons when you go to throw it....

Electrical Inspector repliedSpraying any one of the following on the snow shovel will help: WD-40, Silicone lubricant, fan-belt lubricant, or PAM cooking spray.

The cooking spray works the best, as it "clings" to the shovel the longest; but any of the sprays will have to be re-done.

If you are willing to pay a little extra for a snow shovel, they make them with a Teflon coating. That works great.

Chris.P N repliedCooking spray, furniture wax, although heating the shovel blade is a top idea, just where will you find dry wood though?

Kristina B repliedpam actually.... the spray on cooking stuff. should work I would imagine. Plus its not as toxic.

Zero (Hero) repliedHeat it up in a fire, till its red hot. Shovel snow with it while it is hot, Then put it back in the fire. Repeat as necessary

Or wait 'til Summer..

kristendw78 repliedI inadvertently found the answer to your very question the other day. I poured rock salt onto my shovel so I wouldn't have to carry a 40 lb bag along with me when I spread the salt. After spreading, then shoveling some more, when I was done I noticed there was absolutely no snow on my shovel. So there ya go!

Carl repliedLeave the shovel in the cold so it will not melt the snow and get sticky.
The wax sounds like a good idea too.

emucompboy repliedCome to Los Angeles. Snow never sticks to my shovel.
