SealGreen Efflorescence Remover allows residue to be quickly and easily rinsed away with a high or low-pressure washer.

SealGreen Efflorescence Remover is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly phosphate free formula which replaces several types of harsh acid cleaners. Its alkaline nature will help neutralize acid-based detergents and cleaners.

Application

The best way is to apply SealGreen Efflorescence Remover with a garden pump sprayer. Allow it to remain for 5 minutes and then rinse with a pressure washer.

In general, cleaning efflorescence from a surface is an ongoing solution rather than a cure. Sealing a surface might be a solution, but if water still finds its way into the surface, you could end up with spalling, which is a destructive process that should be avoided.

Efflorescence occurs as the surface heats up from exposure to the sun and the water inside the concrete or brick will evaporate and move the salts to the surface

Note: This product is ideal for temperatures from 45° to 90°F for removing calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.

Ideal for concrete and clay pavers, concrete flat work and retaining walls. Can also be used on manufactured and natural stone, concrete block, and wet cast products. Works on both horizontal and vertical applications.

SealGreen Efflorescence Remover is compatible with all SealGreen Sealers with proper dilution, dwell time and application. Misuse may cause damage to the sealer. A test area is always recommended to determine product suitability and compatibility with your specific surface before use and if desired results are achievable.
