| Are you sure it is mold, and not mineral deposits from poorly cured concfrete or mineral-loaded groundwater? |

| It appears as a cloudiness beneath the clear coat sealer. We thought it was mold but it could be the concrete. Does concrete continue to react after it is poured? |

| Yes, concrete continues to harden for YEARS, and efflorescence (minerals appearing on the surface) can happen any time the slab is over wet soil. |
