To remove salt from a patio, use an efflorescence remover specifically designed for the patio material.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
If the salting only appears in the spring, this could indicate it was laid late in the previous year.
-
Using Efflorescence Remover: Apply an efflorescence remover, such as Floorseal Efflorescence Remover. This type of cleaner reacts with the salt deposits (efflorescence) and dissolves them.
-
Suitable Materials: This method is generally safe for patios made of sandstone, slate, porcelain, and granite.
-
Rinsing is Essential: Always thoroughly rinse the treated area with clean water after applying the efflorescence remover. This step is crucial to remove any remaining residue from the cleaner and dissolved salts.
