How to Remove Efflorescence

...

We’re thrilled to introduce a powerful new product: E-Flo Go, designed to tackle one of the most persistent issues in the cleaning industry—efflorescence stains. After months of R&D and real-world testing, we’re excited to share how E-Flo Go is setting a new standard for stain removal.

What Is Efflorescence?

Efflorescence is a common problem that occurs when minerals leach out of surfaces like concrete, brick, or mortar joints. These mineral deposits form stubborn white stains that are nearly impossible to remove with pressure washing alone. There are two types:

  1. Primary Efflorescence: Minerals come from within the structure itself.
  2. Secondary Efflorescence: Caused by external factors like water chemicals in fountains or subdivision entrances.

Efflorescence can consist of salt, calcium, or other minerals, making each case unique. Regardless of the source, E-Flo Go is engineered to handle them all.

Why E-Flo Go Stands Out

E-Flo Go is formulated specifically for efflorescence stains, offering several advantages:

  • Safe and Effective: Buffered to minimize fumes and safe for use on glass and aluminum trim when applied correctly.
  • Versatile Application: Use it with a pump sprayer for precise control or with a soft wash system for larger jobs.
  • High Efficiency: Works quickly to dissolve tough stains, saving you time and effort.

Field Test: Real-World Results

We recently tested E-Flo Go on a severely stained dumpster pad enclosure at a hotel. Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Pre-Wetting: Prepared the surface to prevent over-absorption.
  2. Application: Applied E-Flo Go using a pump sprayer. For severe stains, we used the product at full strength.
  3. Dwell Time: Allowed the product to sit for 10-15 minutes, letting the chemical work its magic.
  4. Rinse: Rinsed thoroughly using a 12-volt system. No pressure washer was needed!

The results were remarkable. Even on one of the worst cases of efflorescence we’ve encountered, the stains dissolved, leaving the surface looking like new.

Key Takeaways

Efflorescence can be a tough challenge for cleaning professionals, but E-Flo Go simplifies the process. Here’s why it’s a must-have for your toolkit:

  • Cost-Effective: A little goes a long way, making it a smart investment.
  • Professional Results: Impress your clients with spotless surfaces that last.
  • Versatility: Perfect for post-construction cleanup, retaining walls, fountains, and more.
