EF-Fortless

For Professional Use Only

EF-Fortless is a truly remarkable soap solution that melts away powdery efflorescence and haze from clean-up efflorescence, and helps to control its return. This product is mildly acidic and perfect for use on color sensitive surfaces, since it will not discolor brick, block or mortar. It can be used on slurry-dyed block and similar substrates. Simply apply EF-Fortless undiluted and wait for the foam to collapse. Reapply as needed until there is no foaming on contact. With EF-Fortless, there is no need to rinse on vertical surfaces. This product offers long-term protection and the surface can be sealed after one week if desired.

Efflorescence on brick and Pavers. Whats the best way to remove it and what is the cause of it. I have a job where the pavers are 6 months old and the homeowner wants it off.

NMD 80 or Effortless from Eacochem are great products. Call and ask for Lynn. He can answer any questions you have and is more than helpful.

Can we buy this direct or is it through a dealer network? Their website doesn't indicate this info.

You can call and buy directly through Eacochem or contact a distributor. OPW decks carry several of Eacochems products. www.opwdecks.com/saferestore.htm

The customer should understand it may or may not stay clean. No control of when it could bleed back again.
Its also hard to tell where you need to clean once it gets wet.

I think with the EF you spray it on dry .

Andy Hinson · Approved Exterior Cleaner

That would be perfect.

Most of the issues I have had with efflorescence is not primary efflorescence from the initial cure. That's normal and comes off pretty easily. It's the secondary efflorescence that is the issue. Seems like it usually comes from mortar beds and it continues to leach and build up for years.
