White spots have appeared on my tiles, what should I do?
What you see on your slabs is called efflorescence. 👀 Efflorescence is a whitish deposit that appears from time to time on the surface of concrete products. Sometimes, cement salts and aggregates embedded in the product are drawn out by absorbed water and transported to the surface where the water evaporates and the salts settle. 🧂 The appearance of these deposits is normal and common with concrete and other cement-based masonry products. Efflorescence usually stops developing within 3 to 24 months of the product's manufacture. Note that the salt will disappear over time. ⏳ Concrete undergoes a natural process that is not harmful to Patio Drummond products. This process is not a manufacturing defect. Patio Drummond offers to clean efflorescence stains one (1) year after the concrete product is installed. Efflorescence can be cleaned with an efflorescence cleaner sold at building supply stores. Be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. 💯 Patio Drummond accepts no responsibility for this natural phenomenon inherent to concrete products or for its cleaning.
