I have spent a lot of time and sweat in Utah cleaning hard water stains from our clients' windows. Hard water is the white film that will not come off from normal cleaning methods. It requires special products and a lot of effort. Make sure to eat a complete breakfast before attempting to remove hard water stains from your windows. First, lets discuss how hard water forms on your windows. Hard water normally forms after years of build up. What I typically notice right off the bat is a sprinkler that directly or indirectly hits the window. This is the very first thing I check after cleaning hard water from windows to prevent future build up. The second cause is usually from a misplaced rain gutter drain. Basically if there is way water is regularly hitting your windows, then it is a bad thing. Look for these culprits and make an effort to fix the problem. Now onto how to remove the hard water:
The best way to remove hard water is NOT to use a scraper. This will only damage your window and leave you with more problems than a milky window. I use either an acid based cleaner (phosphoric acid) or a product purchased from local janitorial store. If you would like a website to visit for more information, please visit: J.
