Who This Product Is For

This treatment suits homeowners, gardeners, and commercial property maintenance teams dealing with efflorescence on outdoor masonry surfaces.

It works for small-scale residential projects and larger restoration tasks on driveways, walls, patios, and other mineral-based surfaces affected by salt deposits.

Key Features

• Non-Hydrochloric Acid Formula: Effectively treats efflorescence without damaging surfaces or the environment.
• Biodegradable Composition: Safe for use around plants, lawns, and outdoor areas.
• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Suitable for bricks, stone, concrete, and flagstones, giving broad application potential.
• Flexible Application Methods: Can be sprayed, poured, or brushed on for convenience.
• Quick Clean-Up: Easily washes away with water, leaving no residue behind.

Practical Applications

This treatment is ideal for rejuvenating a range of surfaces, including driveways, walls, and patios. It delivers reliable results whether dealing with heavily contaminated brickwork or maintaining the look of outdoor paving. Its user-friendly application gives effective performance across small-scale projects and larger restoration tasks.

After cleaning and when dry, protect porous stone with a sealer to reduce future salt penetration, for example the Resiblock Indian Sandstone Colour Enhancer Sealer 5L.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is used during the cleaning and preparation stage of masonry maintenance. It follows surface clearing and precedes sealing to protect against future salt penetration.

The treatment addresses existing efflorescence deposits before applying protective sealants, creating a clean base for long-term surface preservation.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Clear away loose dirt or debris using a stiff brush such as the Prodec Churn Masonry and Brickwork Cleaning Hand Brush and dampen the area lightly without over-saturating.
2. Test First: Apply to a small, inconspicuous section to check compatibility.
3. Apply the Product: Pour, spray, or brush the solution onto the affected area for full coverage.
4. Wait: Let the treatment sit for 5-10 minutes, depending on the severity of the efflorescence.
5. Wash Off: Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat as needed for stubborn areas while avoiding overspray on sensitive surfaces like metal or plants.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to maintain the product’s efficacy.
