How To Remove Efflorescence

There nothing like the look of a newly completed project like a new home, stone feature wall or brickwork. However, these new surfaces are often affected by efflorescence stains in a few short months of being built.

These difficult to remove stains can leave you feeling frustrated that your beautiful new project or home is now looking not so great and wondering what is happening and what you can do about cleaning it up.

Efflorescence stains are a common problem and occur when soluble salts, lime and other water dispersible materials make their way to the surface of bare substrates like concrete and mortar.

Efflorescence is usually triggered by moist conditions or low temperatures and can occur soon after exposure, which is why it often affects newly completed surfaces.

If efflorescence is not cleaned from the surface, it can eventually calcify and become extremely hard and nearly impossible to remove. When this happens, it can also cause permanent damage to the finish or surface of the substrate.

It’s best to treat and clean efflorescence stains as quickly as possible once they begin to appear and stay on top of them over the coming months.
