Title: efflourescence on Polished black brickwork
Post by: Matt Gibson on August 29, 2011, 01:29:05 pm

Hi guys,

Ive got some polished black blockwork thats been laid and they want the efflourescence removed. Im off to test it for acid sesitivity tomorrow and im guessing its gonna be a no go with acid.

Anything i can try that wont take the sheen of it or leave marks?

Cheers,

Matt

i have always used the conventional hydrochloric brick cleaners for new build cleaning mortar stain removal etc!
has anybody used these acid free cleaners for this type of work and if so what do you make of it?

I havent bought any yet, only the free sample.. if you havent got much graff, just ask for a sample. otherwise i thiink they sell it price per litre for a 25l drum minimum..

I bought some other stuff local cause i needed to remove the graffiti from a painted surface without taking the paint off but it wasnt cheap, £40 for 5L

Ill be going back to DC for their stuff when this new stuff runs out.
