cedros Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I know this has been discussed before but I did not need to know then and I can't find the threads. The water system leaves mineral stains on my windows. How can I get them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I used a small green scrubbie and Pears soap (natural glycerine soap). Gently rub or you will scratch the windows. I had the same problem with a sprinkler system so after getting them clean, I adjusted the sprinkler heads. Or you can call Saul the professional window washer.

Wookie Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Saul the window washer. 333-454-4625 is his cell which I find is the best way to reach him, or his home number 376-765-4507. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 White vinegar (which is 5% acetic acid) does the job. The trick, especially this dry time of year, and on a vertical surface, is keeping it saturated long enough to allow it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 The window washer told me he could not get my window clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had stubborn stains on a window and Saul, the window washer, was able to get them off with a "special" chemical he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteben Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 for mineral deposits such as found in the water here, you need some sort of acid. I would try in order: White vinegar Barkeeper`s friend (oxalic acid), preferably the cream form, to avoid scratching. CLR Muriatic acid Either of the first two usually work for me.
