« on: August 24, 2010, 02:38:07 pm »
i clean have got some sort of limescale on them , i find this when the window is by a hanging bascket or flower pots close to the glass .
whats the best way to shift this off the glass wfp does not seem to move , even when i scrub and scrub it still seems to stay there on the glass
also on some leaded glass i see it too .a gardener at one place i clean put the sprinklers on and soacked all one side of the house this too left a white limescale on the glass.

whats the best stuff for getting it off.

I've used Viakal with good results. Without needing to use a scraper.

Most domestic limescale removers should shift tapwater limescale.

In extreme cases it may require a mineral deposit remover

I had a custy with a patio door that has had terrible limescale for several years before I turned up.  Between them and me we tried limescale removers, vinegar, household cleaners, all to no avail.

Then someone on here told me to use a Brillo pad.  I used it on an inconspicuous area, making sure the soap content didn't run out and the result was perfection.  The customer finished off and is overjoyed.
