If you read the directions on the bag, it tells you to shovel it up as it melts and dispose of it. The refreeze and thaw is what breaks down the concrete. I know because this was the process my dad made me do.

You could use the garden hose and clean it off but you might end up with ice on your driveway for awhile. Being from around Louisville I would think the ice wouldn't last too long before it melted and dried up. A few years ago we had some ice and snow right around the back door and I took the garden hose and connected it to the washing machine hot water line. The hot water melted the ice and snow quickly and the temperature was in the low 40's so by the time night rolled around the water had all dried up.
