Why Ice Scoops?
Ice scoops may seem like a simple tool, but they are powerful allies in maintaining the integrity of your ice maker and improving your ice handling practices.

Ice Scooping Etiquettes: Maximizing User Benefit
Here's how to gain the maximum benefit from your ice scoop: Use the right one for your ice type. Getting the right tool will ensure you don’t struggle to scoop ice, reducing potential damage to the ice maker. Secondly, ALWAYS hang or store your ice scoop in a holder, and not inside the ice bin. This ensures zero cross-contamination and no chilling adventures of your hand. Lastly, clean your scoop regularly. A dirty scoop can cause bacterial growth, which can freeze into your ice. Not so cool, huh?
