The white, powdery deposits are soluble salts left behind when moisture moves through bricks or mortar and evaporates. Cleaning can improve their appearance, but the deposits may return unless the underlying moisture source is addressed. For Western Sydney homes, the safest approach is to identify the deposit, assess the condition of the masonr
