  How to remove efflorescence

  Efflorescence is very simply caused by the action of water entering masonry. That water then dissolves inherent salts, the most abundant of those salts is usually what's known as 'free lime' which is left surplus from the matrix of the concrete. Removing efflorescence is difficult and labour intensive, and requires acid based remover. Many products attempt to mask the word 'acid' with "water based" and other jargon, and will often mask any unpleasant odour with a nice scent such as lemon. Regardless,  an acid pH is essentially what's required to dissolve the efflorescence.  Once efflorescence is cleaned, it is most likely going to return....

  What does Efflock cost?

  It's actually much more cost effective than the usual method. In the scenario where you membrane first and screed second, using Efflock negates the need for a secondary membrane, and provides better protection. Efflock is designed for tile beds, and cement-based tile adhesives and grouts, providing complete protection for all 3 layers that cause leaching. 1 litre is enough additive for 16m2, or 3 typical-sized bathrooms. A typical rate for secondary membranes in the Sydney region is $30-40/m2 installed. By comparison, Efflock costs as little as $4/m2* to impregnate a 40mm thick screed, tile adhesive and grout. And remember, a secondary membrane serves no protection for adhesive...
