Post by: Pristine Clean on February 16, 2009, 07:08:51 pm

Ok guys,

veiews a property today it has a shower with glass doors.

The doors have never been cleaned, lots of lime scale/ hard water marks. Completely covered what chemical can I use that will remove it.

The doors are almost white! Har water area

Will it need to be scraped or the doors completely replaced.

Thanks in advance

you can buy de-scaling solutions from a janitorial supplier, there are different brands and strengths, I don't use it on glass but on bathroom suites. I find that the longer you leave it to soak in to the surface the easier it is to clean off with a detergent You might have to use a plastic scourer, but I don't know if this will scratch the glass or not  Ask your janitorial supplier what's best.

We do those all the time as in a hard water area, some are so white you can't even see through them. I use a strong lime-scale remover, put gloves on, add neat l.scale remover to scourer, scour it all over, leave it on for a few minutes, get fairy soapy sponge over the same area and get a glass scraper, gently scrape and scour, rinse and buff, brings them up like new.

Hi

Yep, do these A LOT

Buy a pro limescale remover, or buy Viakal from Tesco, Asda (I solely use viakal)

spray or squeeze on, scour in with a steel scourer, leave for a few mins and then wash off, may need 2 treatments if it's that bad. Even after treatments you may find it has pitted the glass, this of course will be permanent.

The worst I have had was a dark green sink & drainer (it was pure white when i started) it took 4 treatments with a pro limescale remover.

Good luck
