Most people take time to clean their home and do chores to keep their lawn and garden looking good. In the same vein, most business owners and managers know the importance of keeping their commercial premises clean. But one area that seems to get overlooked often is the windows. The windows of your home or business offer a way for light to come in and brighten up as well as warm the inside of the building. When the windows are dirty all the light that is supposed to come in is stopped by dirt and spots that are usually not cleaned off. One of the worst offenders when it comes to dirty windows is hard water spots. The water spots come from many different areas that include sprinklers, hose water and rain. The hard water is water that has sediments that are naturally found in the water but as the water dissipates the sediment stays behind. This is what leads to the spots occurring on the exterior windows. The problem with hard water on your windows is that it can cause damage that cannot be corrected or repaired except by replacing the window. AMaidzing offers some helpful tips to remove hard water spots from your windows.
Does Vinegar Remove Hard Water Stains from Windows?
This is a great way to remove hard water spots that are on your windows around your home. You want to get a spray bottle and use water mixed with white distilled vinegar. You can adjust the amount of vinegar based on the amount of hard water that you are trying to remove. Spray the solution on the window that you want to treat and let it set. You can spray it again and reapply the solution several times to help break down the hard water. You can also use a washcloth that has been soaked in the same solution to wipe away and lay over a particularly hard to clean area. After you have treated the area you can clean the window like you would any other window.
Can Lemon or Citric Acid Clean Hard Water Spots from Glass?
The interesting fact about using lemon in place of vinegar is that they have the same level of acidic properties. You can use the fresh squeezed lemon in the same fashion that you did the vinegar. Take a water bottle and dilute the lemon with water and use it to spray on the windows that are effected. Wash off the lemon solution and clean the windows as normal once the hard water has been removed.
What Do Professional Window Cleaners Use on Hard Water Stains?
This is the easiest and most effective way to remove hard water spots. A professional can much more efficiently that a standard homeowner clean windows and remove hard water spots. Professionals often use a polishing paste specifically designed to fight the minerals that create these hard water stains.
