About 5 weeks ago I had my kitchen reskimmed but I haven't redecorated yet. Near the kitchen sink, behind the washing machine, a couple of patches of powdery white deposits (effluorescence?) have appeared, also a patch near the kitchen door (both patches on outside walls). I'm now wondering if I need to repoint the brickwork outside to stop dampness. There are also effluorescence remover products on the market but I feel that they would not really solve the problem. Any advice welcome.
