Hello, My house has some white spots on the bricks where water coming from sprinkle system get to. After some research, I was told that this white spots thing is Efflorescence. I am thinking about trying this Effloresecence remover from Eco-Wares: Eco-Wares - Cleaners Detailed Info Has anyone tried this product who can give me some input. Thanks.

Wow, that is quite a job well done Craig. You sure are an expert at this. If the stuff that Mike at EacoChem sending me dont help, I will use Eff-ortless followed by NMD80 per Celeste's advise. Wish me luck. I will post result next week.

Adjusting the sprinkler was the first thing that I did. I called and talked to Mike at EacoChem. He will send me something that may get it out. Vinegar does not help any. Thanks everyone for your input. I will keep you all update.

My house was built new about 3 years ago. I truly believe the white efflorescence was caused by the hard water from my sprinkler system. At first the white stuff was very minor and I did not think much of if. Overtime it is worse and now they look pretty bad as shown in the pictures. From what you described, they are probably calcified efflorescence, but since i dont really know much about this subject, it's only a guess. I don't believe the problem is sealer related as the white stuff only appear where water from the sprinkler got in contact and i've never used any sealer nor the builder (i contacted David Weekley builder and asked them.) If this is calcified efflorescence, how can i remove them. Thanks.

The white things feel like powder. I applied SafeRestore full strength. I will try Vinegar and post my result. Thanks.

Well Safe Restore arrived and did not help. Still have lot of those white thing. I am lost. Help please!!!

Isaac, I spoke to Mike at Eaco Chem and per his suggestion, ordered 2 gallons of SafeRestore. Wish me luck. Thanks.

Gentlemen, I've bought 2 gallons of BRIXX WASH from Northern Tools and applied them on the bricks, let it sit for 5 minutes, pressure washed it at 2000psi. After doing that for 4 times, some of the white things seem to come off but there are still a lot left. Do I need to scrub it with a brush after applying the solution to remove the stubborn white things. Or perhaps I need to try some other solution (EacoChem perhaps.) Christopher, when you use the chemical from EacoChem, what is the process that you used to remove those white Efflorescence. CarolinaProWash, I really dont know if my bricks are sealed or not - how can I tell.

Thanks John. I will try the BRIXX WASH per your recommendation. I sure hope I can remove them Efflorescence. Thanks again.

I did adjust the sprinkler to avoid water coming on to the bricks. Though I have to remove those ugly white spots hence the question. Thanks,
