FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Hard water stains are caused by mineral-rich water — from sprinklers, taps, or nearby water features — evaporating and leaving calcium, magnesium, and silica deposits on the glass surface. Over time these deposits bond to the glass and cannot be removed by standard window cleaning alone.
Most hard water stains can be fully removed with professional treatment, especially when caught early. If deposits are left untreated for extended periods, they can begin to chemically etch into the glass surface. Etched glass may require polishing to restore clarity — we assess each situation individually before beginning work.
Treatment time depends on the severity and extent of the staining. A standard residential hard water removal service takes 2–4 hours. Severely affected windows or large commercial glass surfaces may require additional time or a follow-up treatment for complete removal.
The treated stains will not return unless the glass is re-exposed to the same mineral-rich water source. If the source — such as a sprinkler — continues to spray the glass, stains will reappear over time. We recommend addressing the water source and scheduling regular maintenance cleaning to prevent recurrence.
Yes — our professional-grade treatments are formulated to dissolve mineral deposits on glass while being safe for standard window frames, seals, and surrounding surfaces including painted sills and vinyl. We apply treatments carefully and rinse thoroughly to protect all adjacent materials.
