2) First dampen the contaminated surface with clean water, then apply Proteger ProShield Masonry Wash, neat or diluted with water up to 1:10. Dilution rate will be dependent on the extent of the contamination.
3) Immediately spread the product generously to the surface with a sponge, brush or sprayer. Leave to dwell for 10-15 minutes, scrub the surface with a stiff brush and then wash away with plenty of clean water. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface, in cases of heavy contamination this procedure may need to be repeated also reducing the dilution rate will help.

Acid containing cleaners can develop vapours which may damage sensitive surfaces.

Sandstone Wall Cleaning To `Remove Limescale and Efflorescence Deposits
Some jobs presents very unique challenges and this one was no exception.
We had to tackle some of the worst limescale and efflorescence markings we had ever dealt with. We first treated the calcium build up with Proteger Masonry Wash to break down the buildup, chiseled the large thick deposits off then treated the surface again with Masonry Wash.
The chemical reaction started to soften the calcium deposits and break down the efflorescence which then made it a lot easier to remove the surface markings with Doff superheated steam.
After all of the markings had been removed we allowed the substrate to dry out and then applied our Proshield Facade Sealer.
