Spring is the perfect time for facade cleaning and tackling sulfate efflorescence.

YES! Spring has begun. This season offers the perfect opportunity to clean and protect your facade. But why is spring the ideal time for facade maintenance? In this blog, we’ll explain the benefits.

Optimal Weather Conditions
Spring brings mild temperatures and less rainfall. These conditions ensure that your facade is dry enough for treatments such as hydrophobization (impregnation). A dry surface allows hydrophobic agents to adhere better, resulting in a long-lasting and radiant appearance.

Tackling Sulfate Efflorescence
After the first sunny spring days, many homeowners notice white deposits on their brickwork. This sulfate efflorescence forms due to previous rainfall followed by drying. Fortunately, sulfate efflorescence is water-soluble and easy to remove.

What Can You Do?

• Be patient: The white stains often disappear naturally after a few rain showers.
• Speed up the process: Lightly mist the facade with water to help dissolve the efflorescence faster.

Lime Efflorescence
If the white deposits persist, it may be lime efflorescence, which is more stubborn and requires a specific approach. In this case, use BNL1 lime and cement residue remover for effective cleaning.

Hydrophobization in Spring
Applying a hydrophobic (impregnation) treatment to your facade in spring protects it from moisture and pollution. The favorable weather conditions ensure optimal drying, enhancing both the durability and appearance of your facade.
