Sources of Hard Water Stains
Hard water stains can be frustrating because they seemingly can appear out of nowhere. These stains are the result of water landing on a window, either from rain runoff or an irrigation system, and drying. When the water dries, what is left behind is a mineral deposit. Depending on what was in the water, the deposit left behind can calcify and become hard, leaving behind a white stain. Over time, if water continues to accumulate and dry on the window, these stains can build up on top of one another and become very difficult to remove, and become more noticeable as they add more layers.
Techniques for Minor Hard Water Stains
Because water stains are usually baked on by the sun, they are inherently difficult to remove. However, if you get to a water stain before multiple layers have accumulated or a great deal of time has gone by, they can be removed fairly easily with the right equipment and technique. For minor stains, you can use your own homemade cleaner made from vinegar or lemon juice with distilled water, along with a lot of elbow grease. Store bought cleaners like CLR, Scrubbing Bubbles, and generic glass cleaners might also do the trick.
Professional Attention for Severe Stains
When stains have built up over time or they haven’t been cleaned for weeks or months, they can set in and be very hard to remove. In this instance, it’s best to call in a team like ours. We use professional cleaning products to remove hard water stains, and we have different products depending on the severity of the stain and the type of deposit left behind. In some cases, we use buffing equipment to remove these stains more effectively than cleaning by hand.
