Title: lime scale
Post by: cater on December 18, 2013, 05:08:00 pm
Ive had a call from a customer today complaining of severe spotting all over her windows on one side of her property.  When I went to the property it wasn't spotting it was like a hard immoveable limescale residue at the  bottom of the panes of glass.  I have had to viakal it and scrape with a blade two or three times to remove it .  I have never come across it before and I have been trading for nine years.  Any ideas?

That will be the overflow leaking up under the soffit probably then bouncing up off the path or sills. If they don't fix it you'll be scraping it off all over again next month.

Chill it bang lime scale and shine.
Spray it on, leave it a minute and if needed agitate a bit with a non scratch scourer.
It's amazing, cheap and easy to get hold of at the supermarket.
I've even done a glass conservatory roof that was heavily stained, agitated with a super lite brush for a while with reapplications and it came up mint!
The custy was amazed!

hi mate if its very hard water residue then steaming is you only answer as it wil breakdown  the limescale. but  normally  I use the unger hard water remover.
