White mold vs efflorescence. Say on one of your previous shows i heard that you got i got this white mold or fuzz that grows on the cement floor in the basement. Our house has a poured concrete basement floor. Do you know the difference between white mold and efflorescence.

It s caused by water seeping through the wall floor object. Efflorescence is a process where salts leach out of the concrete carried by water and end up on the surface as a white dusty residue. White efflorescence caused by high water movement pushing salts out of a concrete floor slab. Why would a white fuzz i am assuming its a mold grow on my concrete floor in my shop in any area after water has been on it and dried.

The water dissolves salts inside the object while moving through it then evaporates leaving the salt on the surface. White fuzz or powder appears on the concrete surface. It sounds like you have a chronic efflorescence problem. Efflorescence is a white crystalline or powdery often fluffy fuzzy deposit on the surface of masonry materials like concrete brick clay tile etc.

On concrete basement floors a problem with moisture rising up from the wet ground can cause a fuzzy white mold to grow on the surface.

Several cracks have occurred in the floor allowing a white foamy substance to seep through all around the cracks.

Mold should be removed as soon as you see it and preventive measures should be put into place to avoid it. And the thing is i heard that you have vinegar and water to clean it up.
