Hard Water Spots

JSC

Anyone know of a glass cleaning product that will remove hard water spots from windows?

Try vinigar. Seriously

Already tried vinegar, thanks anyway. Also tried CLR and a couple others.

Are you sure they are hard water spots?

I used to have a window washing company; can't remember the brand name, but it might have been this one:

I think you apply it, then scrub it with quad-aught steel wool. Then you have to wash the window like ten times to get it all off. One of those "don't get on your skin" chemicals.

Well, some sort of mineral deposit from a long-term errant lawn sprinkler hitting the windows. White crusty beads.

I don't know if this will work for you but it can't hurt.

I have used Oxyclean to clean old milk bottles that I sometimes find while digging around existing foundations, it works pretty well getting the gunk and discoloration that being underground for 40+ years can do to glass.

A1 hardwater stain remover.

It is availbale from Racenstein - linked in a previous post by Buck25.

I have used it for years and it works

Although I do have to respectfully disagree about it being a harsh chemical. While it will dry out your skin, it is really fairly benign and it is advertised as biodegradable.

It can be difficult to get off. Let it dry completely into a haze and it removes easier.

Most glass shops that install shower doors will also sell bio-clean,it's a non abrasive,glass cleaner/polishing liquid,non toxic too.
Removes water spots,soap scum,may take more than one application. If the glass shop orders supplies from CRLaurence? most do,than they can hook you up. We have used it for removing severe rain water stains on high rise curtainwall and on car windshields .
Also, a good product is the polish/scratch remover system from NOVUS,comes in four bottles,start with number 1 thru 4 .

Thanks for the replies y'all. I ordered some stuff called Zephyr online that claims to do the job. If it turns out to be snakeoil, I'll try your suggestions.

JSC

A junior update: Received the Zephyr product order very promptly. Too bad it didn't even faze the deposits. Save yourself the $20. for the pint.
So much for their claims..................
