When the water evaporates, it leaves behind minerals like magnesium and calcium. With time, the minerals dissolve, leaving behind spots on the glass and it gets quite difficult to remove hard water stains from shower door.The cloudy spots are usually stubborn and cannot be removed using regular glass cleaning products. However, this does not mean that you cannot get rid of stubborn stains.

Salt and Water Solution:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is probably the easiest solution to cleaning stubborn hard water glass stains. It is something that you can easily make. All you need is salt and water. How does it work? The salt scours the satins away. The mixture should not be too watery. Balance it so that it forms a paste. Use the paste on the stained area. Scrub it until the stain fades away. Once done, use a clean cloth to wipe out the residue.

White Vinegar:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Vinegar is acidic. However, it is not as concentrated as hydrochloric acid. It is very effective in loosening the mineral deposits that form stains on glass surfaces. The beauty of using white vinegar is that it does not corrode surfaces; more so, it is not toxic. You, therefore, don\u2019t need to cover your eyes while using it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you could do something to make it more effective: add lemon juice to it. Remember that lemon juice is also acidic. Here is how you go about it.<\/p>\n<p>Mix lemon juice and vinegar in a spray bottle. It works best when warm: warm it in the microwave or the oven. Don\u2019t let it stay too long: 30 seconds is enough. Spray the warm vinegar and lemon juice mixture and let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it with a lint-free cloth. While warming the mixture, leave the bottle open. If closed, the pressure will build up, and it might end up exploding. On top of increasing its effectiveness, the lemon gives the cleaning product a refreshing scent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:470px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"has-background-dim-0 wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-3316\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/white-vinegar.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/white-vinegar.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/white-vinegar-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/white-vinegar-768x509.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light\" style=\"min-height:180px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"has-background-dim-0 wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"915\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-3317\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/basic-glass-cleaning-1024x915.png\" style=\"object-position:38% 0%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"38% 0%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/basic-glass-cleaning.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/basic-glass-cleaning-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/basic-glass-cleaning-768x686.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p><strong>iv.

Use Magic Cleaning Pads<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to dwell on the liquid products to remove hard water stains from a glass surface. There are other simple ways that you can do it. Cleaning pads are kind to the surface and will effectively remove the stains without scrubbing. Note that glass is sensitive, and scrubbing can leave marks on the surface.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Windex-All-Window-Cleaner-Refill\/dp\/B00J5HGT2M\">Using cleaning pads<\/a>&nbsp;to remove such spots will leave your glass surface pristine and clean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4><span id=\"ii_Use_Toothpaste\"><strong>ii. Use Toothpaste:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Using toothpaste on glass surfaces is another effective hack. Toothpaste is basic and cuts through the dissolved salts on the glass surface. It is a pretty simple process. Use a lint-free towel. Apply toothpaste on the towel and rub it on the surface. To make your work thorough, use circular motions. Ensure that you have worked through all the stained areas, once you are positive that all the stains are removed, let the toothpaste sit for a couple of minutes. Get water and vinegar in equal amounts and use it to clear the residue until your surface is spotless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:270px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"has-background-dim-0 wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-3318\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/toothpaste-bar.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/toothpaste-bar.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/toothpaste-bar-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/toothpaste-bar-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:270px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"has-background-dim-0 wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-3320\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/baking-soda-cup.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/baking-soda-cup.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/baking-soda-cup-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/baking-soda-cup-768x502.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4><span id=\"iii_Use_Baking_Soda\"><strong>iii.

The minerals in the water build-up and dissolve in the glass surface and form hard water stains eventually. To prevent the water from drying into stains, always ensure that your shower doors or glass surfaces are dry. Use a dry towel to wipe the water away from the surfaces every time they get in contact with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you plan on cleaning your house, always set aside time to thoroughly clean glass every week to prevent build-up.

This ensures that even before the water runs through your faucets or showerhead, there are no minerals that can damage your glass.
