Hard Water Stain Removal

Accumulation of minerals either from sprinklers, water splashing from sinks or pools or even from rainwater bringing minerals onto the glass as it runs down a wall. The minerals get into the microscopic pitting of your glass and eventually cannot be removed without removing a thin layer of glass.

Although our service is effective more than 90% of the time there are windows that are either not worth the effort to clean or are too far gone. This is usually only true on residential glass. However if we are successful in restoring you glass this does not mean they will not accumulate stains again even with a sealer applied. If you are experiencing quick progression of water spots then the source of the staining needs to be identified and addressed. Also the windows need regular attention. Just as shower tiles needs a regular program of cleaning to avoid mildew, water spots and soap scum build up, your windows need to be cleaned regularly to remain clean and clear.

To prevent future staining of your glass you must move or re-position sprinkler heads and other sources of water that are ending up on your glass. Also since even the rain running down your exterior walls can cause minerals to end up on the glass you must also clean the glass regularly. The application of a window sealer will help dramatically as well if applied regularly after cleanings.
