Hard Water Stains On Windows Are Not Hard to Remove

September 1, 2023 - S SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Are hard water stains on your glass windows or mirrors ruining the appearance of your property? These unsightly stains can make your property look neglected, no matter how hard you scrub.

Hard water stains on windows and mirrors are typically caused by mineral deposits that are left behind when hard water evaporates on the glass surface. Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium. When hard water dries on glass surfaces, the minerals in the water can create stubborn stains that can be difficult to remove. Our professional customer service team always recommends effective, efficient and safe techniques to remove even the toughest hard water stains, leaving your property looking clean and refreshed.

The best way to remove hard water stains from windows is by using an acidic cleaning solution. One effective solution is a mixture of white vinegar and water. Simply mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, then spray the solution onto the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth to wipe away the solution and the hard water stains. Another option is to use a commercial glass cleaner that contains an acid-based formula like CLR Rust Calcium Lime Remover and Descaler. These cleaners are designed specifically for removing hard water stains.

It's important to note that prevention is key when it comes to hard water stains. To minimize the risk of stains forming on your windows, try to avoid using hard water to clean them. Instead, use distilled or deionized water, or consider investing in a water softening system.

Ensuring unsightly window, mirror and glass hard water stains are prevented and removed, property managers can expect to notice improved tenant satisfaction, reduced maintenance costs and increased property value.
