cleaning hard water stains off glass

14 years ago

It looks like I have hard water stains embedded in/on my glass walls in my shower. I have tried calcium remover, tilex, fantastic, and a home remedy of water lemon juice and vinegar. I dry the walls after each shower and spray them down with a tiles "keep your shower clean in between showers" product. It looks better but far from good!

Any advice out there whether it is homeade or store bought that works well with hard water stains that proably have been there for a couple of years?

The water in some cities can actually etch glass....hope that's not your case.
I would try straight white vinegar and a Scotch Bright scrubber....Finish off with some 10% alcohol.
