Alliance Gator Efflorescence Cleaner Sample, 8 oz

What You Get

One 8 ounce bottle of Alliance Gator Efflorescence Cleaner, drawn from a factory sealed container and filled here at our New Jersey warehouse.

• 8 ounce sample bottle with a sealed cap, clearly labeled
• The same 4 to 1 concentrate as the gallon, no hydrochloric acid
• Enough for a test patch, typically around 15 square feet once diluted

This Is Not Optional Before an Alliance Sealer

Alliance names this cleaner as the required pre-seal clean for every sealer they make. Skip it and you seal the efflorescence in permanently, which no amount of later cleaning will undo.

A sample lets you confirm one pass clears your particular bloom before you buy enough for the whole patio. Heavy deposits sometimes need a second treatment, and it is far better to learn that on 15 square feet than to run out mid job with a sealer window closing.

How to Use the Sample

• Pick an area with visible white bloom, ideally somewhere partly hidden
• Dilute 4 parts water to 1 part cleaner
• Pre wet the surface, apply, and do not let it dry on the paver
• Agitate with a stiff brush, then rinse thoroughly
• Let it dry completely before judging, damp pavers hide remaining bloom

Where It Fits in the Job

Efflorescence is mineral salt migrating out of the concrete and drying white on the surface. This concentrate pulls it back out of the pores rather than bleaching it out of sight.

• New concrete pavers in their first year
• Block and segmental retaining walls
• Any hardscape being prepped for its first seal
• Re-seal jobs where haze has returned
