SURFACE PREPARATION
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieve best
results. Scrape and sweep away dirt and loose
contaminants on the surface. Remove any oil or grease
with RockSolid Heavy Duty Cleaner (sold separately).
Scrub with a stiff bristle brush or broom. Rinse thoroughly
with fresh water. A power washer is preferred. Repeat as
necessary to completely clean and rinse. Allow to
thoroughly dry.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
For best results, use a plastic watering can or garden
sprayer to apply RockSolid Efflorescence Remover. DO
NOT use a metal container or garden sprayer with metal
sprayer with metal parts or tips.
MIXING
Slowly add two quarts of RockSolid Efflorescence
Remover to six quarts of water in a plastic watering can (2
gallons total).
APPLICATION
Apply RockSolid Efflorescence Remover where
efflorescence appears on the concrete surface. The
product will begin to fizz when contacting efflorescence. If
necessary, use a stiff bristle broom to work the product
into the surface. Wait 5-10 minutes until the fizzing stops.
Repeat the application of the product until no fizzing
appears. The process may require several applications.
Rinse the surface thoroughly with water or power wash to
remove all product residue. Use a squeegee or broom to
remove excess water from the surface. A wet/dry shop
vacuum can be used. The application may need to be
repeated until all salts are removed from the concrete
surface.

Each gallon of concentrate will cover 600 square feet per
gallon.
