4 Ways To Get Rid Of Hardwater Stains On Glass

• As well as looking downright unsightly, hard
  water staining can tarnish glass and other items
  in your home, and cause permanent damage. The
  glass often becomes discolored, and unless the
  issue is tackled early on, it can prove
  impossible to remove. Unfortunately, hard water
  (water that has a high mineral content) is very
  common in certain areas of the country, and for a
  lot of homeowners, its difficult to avoid the
  staining that comes with it. However as with
  many types of stains treating it before it
  spreads is advisable.

• While cleaning any areas that frequently come
  into contact with hardwater, such as shower
  cubicles, sinks and faucets etc on a regular
  basis, can prevent the stains from having a
  chance to form, many homeowners have gone past
  this point and are facing heavy staining.
• If you dont have a water softener treatment
  installed in your home and are dealing with
  staining on glass surfaces caused by hard water,
  you can either hire a professional cleaning
  company to come in and scrub at the stains until
  theyre gone (an option many choose, and why
  not?), or prepare to remove the stains yourself
  by following the 4 steps outlined below

• Use rubbing alcohol
• When rubbing alcohol is combined with water it
  can make a powerful solution for getting rid of
  hardwater stains, and all you need to do is scrub
  gently at the affected area with a soft sponge or
  cloth, depending on the surface. You must take
  care not to scratch glass by using a material for
  cleaning thats too abrasive. If youre not sure,
  try scrubbing at a small area of the stain to
  check for damage.
• Use toothpaste
• By simply applying a small amount of toothpaste
  (any brand will do) onto a damp cloth, you can
  gently rub at glass surfaces suffering from hard
  water stains. Just rinse the glass clean with
  water when finished.

5

• Use ammonia
• Do note that ammonia has the potential to
  aggravate the nose and eyes, so wearing a face
  mask and some protective glasses while using it
  is recommended, and you should also take care
  when handling ammonia, and wear rubber gloves.
  Once youve donned the appropriate safety gear,
  simply prepare a solution of equal parts ammonia
  and water, take a cloth or sponge and dip it in
  the liquid before rubbing at the stains.

6

• Use vinegar
• Simply soak a cloth, towel or sponge in white
  vinegar and rub at the stains. Alternatively, you
  can pop some vinegar into a spray bottle and
  apply it to the surface instead of the cloth or
  sponge. Vinegar may also irritate your nose and
  eyes, so where possible, wear a face mask and
  glasses to make using it more comfortable.
• Dont fancy DIYing your hardwater glass stains?
  Remember that cleaning companies will happily add
  hardwater stain removal to their list of tasks to
  complete when cleaning your home, and this
  painless, effortless solution can help solve many
  home cleaning woes.
