Hi.

Whats your best way to remove hard water?

Today i was cleaning near the sea, an apartment. It was a white plastered?(guess its the right word in english?) fasade. And i couldnt remove what look like hard water, from the outside. Razorblade it and all, nothing come off. Could it be that the ,hard water,

lime deposit, come from the fasade? Dont know the if im use the correct english words here, but hope u understand me.

I use a product called 'bring it on cleaner' over here in WA, there is a lot of calcium on windows, not sure if you can get it in UK or I sometimes use an extra cut cream Polish that you use on cars. I do like the cut n polish but it's more expensive.

I have heard that cc is corrosive. How do u put it on the window? With a sponge or a rag?

Yes use sponge but you should use water to dilute CC first. Start with 30/70 CC/Water if does not work use 50/50 then 70/30 at last 100/0

But you need gloves and safety stuff unless you want burn your skin.

Need good ventilation if inside and plastic cover and a pile of old newspaper[emoji1]

I did a conservatory roof panel yesterday which had hard water stains all over it from a dripping gutter downpipe that has been fixed

Sprayed viakal over the brush and worked it in..cleaned the rest of the house windows then gave it a quick scrub and rinse

Came up perfect

Gonna use that from now on

 
I have been trying white vinegar and a magic sponge and oddly sometimes it seems to work amazing, other times doesn't touch it?

 
I don't know if have do much of em, maybe just under 100 jobs.

At start did buy many different chemicals that were for hardwater removal. Done some big jobs like over 200 windows just in one job.

Normally i keep with me only 3 different chemicals that i know works here in Finland.

I test each of em to see what would work The best. Then i do 1 window free The most affected one and take time of it. After that it Is easy to say how they would look alike. And i get The time[emoji3] just need to know how many there are do to for pricing.

I use Angle grinder for scrupping[emoji3]

Not on The first one but if i get The job[emoji41]
