    1. To avoid accumulation of Efflorescence on concrete:

      1. Use high-quality concrete with a low water content. This is referred to as “low slump” concrete in the industry.
      2. For stone or brick work, use a low-alkali mortar to prevent alkali salts from leaching into the brickwork.
      3. Cure concrete properly.
      4. Consider using an efflorescence-reducing sealant or paint.
