{"product_id":"alliance-gator-1-gal-efflorescence-cleaner-pavereff1g","title":"Alliance Gator 1 gal. Efflorescence Cleaner","description":"\u003cp\u003eEfflorescence is the chalky white haze that migrates to the surface of concrete pavers, wet cast units and some natural stone as moisture carries free salts and lime out of the unit and evaporates. It is cosmetic rather than structural, but it dulls colour and, if it is sealed over, it stays locked under the film. Gator Efflorescence Cleaner is Alliance Gator's acidic concentrate for dissolving that deposit out of the pores of the stone instead of just scrubbing the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is supplied as a concentrate and diluted with water before use, then applied to a pre-wetted surface with a pump sprayer or watering can, agitated with a stiff bristle brush and rinsed off. Alliance Gator specifies a mix of four parts water to one part concentrate and notes that stronger mixes can discolour pavers, that the product is formulated without hydrochloric acid, and that it should not be used on pavers less than 60 days old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is the step that decides how a sealer performs. Removing efflorescence and penetrated dirt first lets a paver sealer soak into open pores and bond properly, and restores the unit to its natural colour before the finish goes down. Alliance Gator also calls for freshly installed polymeric sand to cure 48 hours above 59 degrees F with no rain before this cleaner is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidic concentrate that lifts efflorescence stains trapped in the pores of concrete pavers, wet cast products and natural stone rather than only clearing surface bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated without hydrochloric acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves penetrated dirt and restores pavers to their natural colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended as the preparation step before a paver sealer is applied, so the sealer can penetrate clean pores and adhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiluted four parts water to one part concentrate; greater concentrations can discolour pavers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashes off with water and is rinsed until foaming action stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied with a pump sprayer or watering can onto a pre-wetted surface and worked in with a hard bristle brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer directs a test on a small hidden area first, and no use on new pavers until at least 60 days after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving white efflorescence haze from interlocking concrete paver driveways, walkways and patios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning wet cast slabs, steps and coping before a finish is applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing natural stone paving for sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring colour to older paver surfaces dulled by salt bloom and ground-in dirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanup work on paver installations after polymeric sand has cured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePool decks, entries and courtyards where mineral deposits reappear after wet seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alliance Gator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gator Clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Efflorescence cleaner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid concentrate, diluted with water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 gal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concrete pavers, slabs, wet cast products and natural stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 parts water to 1 part concentrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pump sprayer or watering can, scrub with hard bristle brush, rinse with water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 GAL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlliance Gator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Alliance Gator","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55112706064723,"sku":"PAVEREFF1G","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/alliance-gator-1-gal-efflorescence-cleaner-pavereff1g.webp?v=1790734605","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/products\/alliance-gator-1-gal-efflorescence-cleaner-pavereff1g","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
