What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence is caused by water leaching minerals and chemicals from mortar, plaster and brickwork. The result can be an unsightly white blemishing of walls and surfaces.
How to Treat Efflorescence?
Using a heavy duty steel brush, simply rub the white Efflorescence off. A powerful jet wash can help in removing particularly stubborn areas.
Once the wall is cleaned up as far as possible, coat it with an alkali resisting primer or stabilising solution.
