Hard water removal
Our Story
Yes, hard water in North Carolina can be problematic for glass surfaces. Hard water stains are typically caused by minerals like calcium and magnesium found in hard water, which leave behind deposits when the water evaporates. Over time, these deposits can build up, creating cloudy, streaky, or spotty marks on glass.
Why are hard water stains bad for glass?
- Aesthetic Issues: The stains can make glass look dirty and unappealing, affecting the clarity and appearance of windows, mirrors, shower doors, or glassware.
- Potential for Etching: If the stains are left untreated for a long time, the minerals can begin to etch or corrode the glass, leading to permanent damage. This is especially true in areas with hard water.
- Difficult to Clean: Hard water stains can be tough to remove once they've built up, requiring specialized cleaning products or techniques.
