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.

  All 3 bases are covered with Efflock

  The genius of Efflock is that it is compatible with all cementitious mixes, including off the shelf tile adhesives and tile grouts.  On a tiled floor, this means that all 3 layers that contribute to efflorescence can be protected - tile bed, tile adhesive and tile grout.  And, it couldn't be easier. Simply add 1 part Efflock to 50 parts of water to use in all of your mixes for absolute confidence. No secondary membrane required! Above: Efflorescence appearing through porous grout joints.
