Sarasota's Mexican Tile Restorations estimator Jessica Bloomfield discusses the problems that arise in sealing Saltillo tile around a pool. While sealing Mexican -Saltillo tile inside your home is essential, sealing Mexican - Saltillo tile around a pool is problematic. Sealed Mexican - Saltillo tile around a pool is extremely slippery when wet and the sealed tile does not allow moisture to escape from the tile, thus causing the creation of mold and white spots or efflorescence.
White spots on Mexican tiles are often a result of efflorescence, a natural phenomenon where mineral salts are deposited on the surface as water evaporates up through the tile. Best bet is to power wash Mexican tile around a pool and leave bare, not sealed.
