Eff-Ex® Efflorescence Remover is a unique product that is highly effective at removing and inhibiting efflorescence. Eff-Ex® is a non acidic (pH 7.4), efflorescence remover and inhibiting cleaning product. Much safer than using harsh, damaging acids.
Key Features:
- Easy and safe to use
- Inhibits the recurrence of efflorescence
- Breakthrough Ex-2 Technology
- Best used in the early stages of efflorescence formation
- Removes and inhibits efflorescence
- Non-acidic formula
- Removes efflorescence without damaging cement-based grouts or pavers
For use on:
- Natural stone (such as marble, granite, slate, travertine, and limestone), porcelain, quarry, Saltillo, terra-cotta, cement pavers, masonry surfaces, and other porous tile and grout where a natural look is desired.
- Effective for interior and exterior applications.
- Eff-Ex® will lightly dull the surface of polished marble, limestone, and travertine; repolishing may be needed.
Limitations:
- Do not allow product to come in contact with any non-recommended surface.
- Not recommended for use on polished marble, limestone, and travertine surfaces.
- If efflorescence appears after surface is sealed, Eff-Ex® will remove the efflorescence but its ability to inhibit efflorescence is reduced.
- Not intended for the treatment or removal of hard water build-up and deposits.
Coverage: Approximately 30 – 125 sq. ft. (3 m2 – 12 m2) per gallon (3.78 L)
Equipment: Apply solution with mop, sponge applicator, paint roller or brush. Synthetic mop and bucket with wringer and scrub brush.
General Surface Prep: Test a small, inconspicuous area according to application instructions to determine desired results.
Application of Product: USE CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, such as nitrile, when handling product. To Remove Efflorescence – Read entire label before using. Do not dilute product. For best results it is recommended to pre-wet the surface with water, avoid puddling and remove excess water before applying solution.
Procedure:
- Always test a small area first to ensure satisfactory results.
- Apply undiluted per product directions.
- Allow to dwell 30-60 minutes. For heavy efflorescence, allow a 60-minute dwell time.
- Agitate with scrub brush or scrub machine. A low RPM (175 to 350 RPM) scrub machine may be used.
- Mop or wet vacuum up dirty solution.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water agitating with a scrub brush to ensure removal of cleaning agents. Clean tools with water before material dries. For vertical surfaces a garden hose or high-pressure washer may be used to rinse exterior area.
- Allow area to dry 24 hours prior to sealing area with any Aqua Mix Sealer.
Note:
- Do not allow solution to dry on surface. Apply additional solution if drying occurs.
- Not recommended on polished marble, limestone and travertine as it may lightly etch polished surfaces.
- If efflorescence is entrapped below a non-breathable sealer, follow directions of Removal of Sealers to remove sealer prior to efflorescence removal.
- If efflorescence has been allowed to crystallize on surface, it may be necessary to use an acidic cleaner such as Cement Grout Haze Remover or Aqua Mix Phosphoric Acid Substitute. This acidic cleaner will etch polished marble and other acid-sensitive surfaces. These recommendations are intended as guidelines for the removal of efflorescence. The actual cleaning requirements may vary depending on method of application, and amount of efflorescence/ hard water present.
To Inhibit Efflorescence
- Apply a thin coat of solution with mop, sponge applicator, paint roller or brush.
- Scrub into surface with scrub brush or scrub machine. DO NOT RINSE.
- Wipe dry any product remaining on the surface. Two to three treatments may be required to fully inhibit efflorescence.
- Allow area to dry 24 hours prior to sealing area with any Aqua Mix sealer.

Delivery Methods
Truck-mounted Forklift / Crane / Tail Lift: Deliveries are made using appropriate unloading equipment, with the option to place pallets at your preferred location on-site, such as a garage. While every effort will be made to place the pallets as requested, the final unloading location will be determined at the driver’s discretion, taking into account safety, site accessibility, and the potential risk of property damage.
Kerbside Delivery: If unloading to the preferred on-site location is not possible, delivery will be completed at the kerbside closest to the delivery address.

Acknowledge:
- Natural Variations: Tiles may exhibit natural characteristics including variations in colour, texture, pattern, shade, crazing, marks, blemishes, size differences, and optical hazing, which appears as a smoky or smudged effect under certain lighting on polished or semi-polished surfaces.
- Batch Differences: Sample tiles are provided as a general guide only. Since tiles are manufactured in batches, slight variations in shade and tone may occur between different batches. Nominal sizes listed on quotes and invoices are approximate, and exact sizing may vary from batch to batch. Over time, tile ranges have become more comprehensive, offering a wider variety of sizes and finishes. As a result, shade variation may occur between different formats within the same range.
- Pattern & Colour Display: Tile patterns are random and may not match the images shown exactly. Colours may also vary slightly depending on screen or device settings.
- Natural Stone: Natural stone is quarried globally and will vary in colour, veining, and pattern. No two natural stone tiles are identical, and variations are to be expected. As such, we do not accept responsibility for natural differences beyond our control.
- Before Installation: Check the actual sizes of different items before tiling, if you want to lay the tiles aligned. If you encounter any defects while laying tiles, cease work immediately and promptly contact us for clarification. Once tiles are laid, we will not consider any claims on visible defects, share/size variations, ect
