This is Christopher Lyman here with expertvillage.com and we are here at a window that has a lot of hard water on it. We've already washed the window and this is what is left on the window. It's the hard water, it's almost white in color. We've explained the different things that you can use. I got this from a cleaning supply store, janitorial supply. It's called Lime Buster. I like to apply this. You've got to be careful though where you drop this. You don't want to drip this on stone, you don't want to drip on aluminum because it is sulphuric acid. It has a tendency to etch whatever it touches. So you want to be careful using this stuff. I have a technique to show you that is really helpful for me. This is an old sponge that I have. It is kind of worn out because if you use a newer sponge, it will quickly wear out your sponge so I've used an old one. It has this convenient flip cap and I take it and drip it right over my sponge like that and I apply it to the window. The more hard water you have, you might have to do this application two or three times. Again I'm just dripping over the top of my sponge and applying it to the window. Now the next step if it's really bad, you can take your razor blade as long as the window is not tempered and scrape that hard water right off the glass.
