Efflorescence on Granite: Is There Any Fix?

Many people ask, "Can efflorescence on granite be cleaned completely?" Here's the honest answer: Efflorescence is nearly impossible to remove completely.

Why Can’t Efflorescence Be Cleaned? 🤔

Efflorescence occurs when alkaline substances and soluble salts penetrate the capillaries of the stone. Even if you clean🧽, polish🔧, or hire professionals🧑‍🔧, these substances remain inside the stone. Ultimately, these methods are just a waste of time and money💸.

Two Solutions Only:

1. Accept It: If the efflorescence doesn't bother you much, you can choose to ignore it🙈.
2. Remove and Reinstall: If you can't live with it, the best option is to remove the affected stone🔨 and reinstall new ones.

How to Prevent Efflorescence? 🚫

When reinstalling, always use professional anti-efflorescence materials. I highly recommend using Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive✨. It locks the alkaline substances inside the cement, preventing them from reaching the stone’s surface.

Why Hanshi 130 is Essential? 💡

Some people skip using anti-efflorescence additives to save a little money🪙, only to face serious issues later. Efflorescence returns, cleaning fails, and the stones need to be replaced. This so-called "cost-saving" leads to much higher costs💸 and wasted time⏳.

Conclusion ✅

If your stone has efflorescence, don’t waste time trying to clean it🧼 or polish it—these won’t work. Either accept it or reinstall the stone with Hanshi 130 to prevent efflorescence from happening again. Remember: saving small costs now can lead to big regrets later! 🛠️
