Its wrong to think its lime scale. Any mild acid would remove lime on glass. Its calcium dioxide and that is another problem it needs to be cleaned with a abrasive product.The best and easiest to get is DR Power works well. Calcium dioxide will itch onto glass and a bitch to get off.Lime scale on glass can rub of with a finger,its soft and powdery ;D ;D.
