That means you dissolve tough crystalline efflorescence effectively while protecting surrounding plant life and keeping jointing mortar intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Dilution, Ready to Apply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for tackling sudden salt bloom after wet weather or damp ground drying out, the solution requires zero measuring or pre-mixing. Simply pour it into a garden sprayer, apply with a watering can, or work it in with a stiff brush straight from the container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Five to Ten Minute Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Time is valuable on any job, so this wash starts breaking down calcium and salt deposits almost immediately. A light dwell time of five to ten minutes followed by a clean water rinse is all it takes to lift ingrained marks and restore natural colouring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEssential Pre-Treatment for Sealers:\u003c\/strong\u003e A great choice if you're looking to apply a protective paving sealer, patio paint, or waterproof coat. Clearing away trapped mineral salts beforehand ensures coatings bond tightly to clean stone, preventing future flaking and patchy discolouration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
