Title: Cleaning water marks from glass...help!
Post by: Neil271052 on September 09, 2007, 04:17:39 pm
A customer of mine has been hosing her plants and has left spotty water marks all over the glass that ordinary cleaning will not remove.

Any ideas?

What's she been hosing them with?? Paint ;D If they are resin type deposits from the plant, try a scraper and tell her to stop doing it ;)

I've tried myself with limited success both Cillit Bang and MDR (Mineral Deposit Remover) someone posted on here that this will shift anything but I've yet to try it

tell her to stop watering the windows would be a good start, and charge her to get the spots off.

If its limescale Malt Vinegar. If its a chemical feed in the watering system -- it will come off with time and effort.
